Las Vegas, Nev. — March 8, 2007 — Ferrania Technologies (Booth #K139) is introducing for retailers attending the 2007 Photo Marketing Association annual meeting a fast and easy, do-it-yourself, instant digital photobook. This photobook comes with everything needed to create a 24-page album that holds up to 96 pictures!

The easy-to-use and intuitive software allows for many design options, from one to four images per page, borders and shading, text boxes for journaling, zooming and cropping of images, and much more! Simply select the layout, drag & drop images into the design template, and you’re on your way.
“Ferrania is excited about this product,” stated Don Cacciola, General Manager for Ferrania. “We’re pleased that we can offer retailers, and consumers, a fun, fast and easy way to create memorable digital photobooks using their home computers and photo inkjet printers.” This product is an excellent complement to any retailer’s line of photographic or digital imaging products.
In addition to this new instant digital photobook, Ferrania offers a variety of other inkjet products including a compatible replacement print kit for Epson Picturemate* printers, and an extensive assortment of inkjet print media, from award-winning PermaPix™ Advanced Archival inkjet photo paper with PerDura™ Technology, to a value 50-sheet pack of 4” x 6” glossy photo paper that can retail for less than $5.00. “Choosing the right media for both your consumer and professional customers is an important consideration in this category and Ferrania can assist retailers and distributors in selecting the right product for the right customer,” Cacciola said. “Ferrania’s special advanced multi-layer coating structure ensures precise ink placement, image sharpness and true, lifelike colors. Now, our customers can get our high-quality media in more sizes and stocks than ever — and our trade customers have a greater opportunity to meet specific market needs.”
Retailers can make money selling inkjet cartridges as well. Ferrania’s family of compatible inkjet cartridges provides retailers the opportunity to sell high quality compatibles at lower prices. Ferrania offers a retail solution that includes retail prices that are 20 – 70% below the national brand cartridges, while still delivering excellent gross margins to retailers. Ferrania Technologies supplied cartridges are the only inkjet cartridges sold in tamper-proof clamshell packaging. No one else offers this level of protection.
“The cost of inkjet cartridges makes them the single largest expense over the life of a desktop printer. The ultimate costs dwarf the initial purchase price of the printer,” said Don Cacciola. “These value-priced cartridges give consumers more choices when they shop and it gives retailers flexibility and depth in their product lines. Best of all, it helps reduce the total cost of ownership for many inkjet printers.”
The entire selection of inkjet cartridges is designed for 100 percent compatibility in a variety of Epson, Canon, Hewlett-Packard (HP) and Lexmark desktop printers and multi-function machines. In addition to extreme reliability, Ferrania’s inkjet cartridges deliver brilliant colors, sharp images and smooth, consistent ink coverage — and they typically provide optimum printing results for a fraction of the cost of OEM printer cartridges.
“Consumers deserve choices, value and high-quality output,” Cacciola said. “Ferrania inkjet cartridges deliver on all accounts. We believe they are the industry’s best value for consumers and they represent tremendous selling opportunities for retailers.”
Ferrania also offers a complete range of color print photographic films in ISO 100, 200, 400 and 800 speeds.
