News ReleasesCinemage Exhibits Kiosk At Graphics CanadaVancouver, BC (8 November 05) - Cinemage Corporation is pleased to advise that it will be demonstrating its kiosk product jointly developed with Hewlett Packard (Canada) Co. at Graphics Canada in the HP booth at the show. Designed to bring on-demand printing capabilities to museums and art galleries in Canada, visitors to museums and galleries equipped with the new Cinemage/HP kiosks will be able to purchase high-quality reproductions of works from the gallery's collection, printed in various sizes and on their choice of media such as photo and Fine Art paper, or canvas.First announced by News Release on May 2, 2005 the kiosk Prints-On-Demand system consist of a third party enclosure and touch screen, an HP large-format printer, and an HP server, which hosts the Cinemage Gallery Prints-On-Demand software system. To kick the product development off, HP contributed the HP Designjet 5500ps large format printer, which features ultraviolet-resistant pigment based inks for long image life, and a touch screen kiosk enclosure to Cinemage. These products are now fully integrated with the Cinemage Software Engine to form a working model of the final product which is being demonstrated at the HP booth at Graphics Canada in Toronto November 10th through 12th . (See www.graphicscanada.com "Canada's Largest Graphics Show") The kiosk system is available through the HP Colour Elite Reseller network. Cinemage will offer ongoing operations support and systems maintenance, in addition to production services to help users upload images from their collections into the digital image gallery for printing through the kiosks. The HP Colour Elite Reseller network will provide hardware maintenance services for the electronic components. Cinemage expects that the kiosks will open up a new source of revenue for museums and galleries, most of which have a Gift Shop with a limited collection of pre-printed lithographic works. The Cinemage/HP kiosks will open up a gallery's entire collection for reproduction in a variety of sizes and varying materials such as photo and fine art papers or canvas to suit the buyers' needs. In addition to accessing images in the client's local library, images from a central Cinemage image bank will also be available for purchase across the Internet for printing at a local kiosk.
