There are several ways to use this capability, which all offer a fast solution for removing red-eye. Retailers can easily develop their own Internet sales outlet, which carries their identity and promotes their store, thanks to a joint Kodak-FotoWire agreement. Retailers who purchase FotoWire Software can offer their customers many products or services available from their digital lab system equipped with Kodak DLS software, and consumers can conveniently place their orders online using digital files from the comfort of home or office. The service offers a convenient way for digital camera users or those with scanned images to get high-quality photos from a digital lab system quickly and at a reasonable price. Each member site is branded for the retailer, with FotoWire sub-branding.
Retailers can have their own fully branded site for an extra charge.
The retailers' customers receive special ordering software to use at home or at work. The agreement between Kodak and FotoWire continues to expand the online processing and printing solutions offered by Kodak. The printed order can be either mailed to the consumer or held at the store for pick-up. The FotoWire system, which will first be available on the Noritsu QSS-2711DLS lab, is expected to be available later in 2000. This software enables retailers with a Kodak DLS software-equipped lab to print virtually any digital file submitted to them.
