The first of its kind avenue
for the South-East and
Far East Asian region
‘A picture is worth a thousand words. True to this axiom, there is no other medium that facilitates
or connects people like photographs do. No matter what culture, country, background or language -
photography is a medium that crosses all boundaries. No one knows this better than the industry manufacturers who
have been instrumental in delivering this change through the evolution and development of new products, empowering
and enabling the consumers to capture their memories for all time.
PHOTOXPO 2010 provides a rst-of-its-kind avenue for the South-East and Far East Asian region to think, talk and ex-
perience photography and imaging like never before. A unique concept uniting a trade and a commercial exhibition, will
create a platform and opportunity where both - the industry and its consumers - can make smarter choices in the days to
come. A place where the manufacturers will get to showcase the latest, and also sell the best of their products.

KIS Photo-Me Expands Onsite
Automatic Photobook Production Line
L
everaging its operating experience with
more than 2,000 original Photobook
Makers worldwide, KIS Photo-Me
has introduced the Photobook Builder,
a prot-generating system designed to
turn silver halide minilabs into powerful
onsite production systems for top quality
photobooks and folded greeting cards.
Prints from the minilab are simply stacked
in the feeder and the Photobook Builder
does the rest automatically. A ten-page
5.7x8”(14.5x20cm) photobook (books as
big as 30 pages can be made) is nished in
just over two minutes, and up to 20 photo
greeting cards are folded and glued in about
20 minutes. The revolutionary cold bonding
process perfected for dye sub media has been
thoroughly tested with real photographic
paper prints to make photobooks unaffected
by high humidity, large temperature swings
or pollutants in the air.
“Retailers using our Photobook Maker
have been so impressed by the quality and
durability of the output, as well as its drawing
power for attracting new customers, that they
asked us to develop the Photobook Builder to
complement their traditional ‘wet’ minilabs,”
commented Ivan Semenoff, President of KIS
Photo-Me. “Our global vision is to deliver
automated, reliable, economical production
tools to photo retailers that will enable them
to become dynamic producers of a wide range
of creative, high-margin photo products that
delight consumers and generate new revenues.”
Express Photobooks are around for two
years and now come with expanded options
like a downloadable end-user software suite,
a child book add-on and expanded payment
options, says Yan Manissadjian, Marketing
Manager, KIS Photo-Me. The expanded
payment is currently available in Japan.
Using the touchscreen, and the proven
easy-to-use design software, customers can
make an attractive photo album, complete with
the album title printed on the spine, in under
ve minutes. The DVD Jacket sized (6 x 8 inch
/15 x 20 cm) stain-resistant photobooks with a
glossy nish and can be created with up to 30
laminated pages containing 100 photos.
The new compact Pocketbook Kiosk G2

products (prints, frames, greeting cards,
calendars and more) in minutes. Photobooks

as 30 pages. Using the touchscreen, and
the same easy-to-use design software that
continues to thrill thousands of people
everyday who use the Photobook Maker,
