 Fujifilm ASK-2000 Thermal photo printer : Fuji Photo Film introduces at photokina the new high-speed ASK-2000, an upgraded version of the popular ASK-1500 Thermal Photo Printer that offers enhanced output speed and simplified maintenance. The ASK-1500 Photo Printer has become a key item in a variety of printing systems, earning a reputation as an affordable way to provide high-quality, high-speed commercial photo printing services with minimal space requirements. The ASK-2000 was developed in response to users' requests for additional processing capacity and simplified maintenance. The ASK-2000 incorporates a new highly sensitive paper, ink ribbon, and a redesigned print mechanism to achieve a 1.5-times increase in print speed.

Installed in a single-unit network configuration, the new ASK-2000 can output a single print (3.5 x 5/4R size) in 8 seconds; in a two-unit network configuration, printing time is reduced to just 4 seconds per print (3.5 x 5/4R size). The new full-frontal mechanism allows all operation and maintenance, from switching on the power to loading paper and changing ink ribbons, to be performed with the printer in place, a design that effectively saves space and simplifies maintenance tasks. The new paper/ink ribbon now produces 600 prints from a single roll, an increase from 500, which means less frequent replacement of consumables.
Fujifilm ASK-2000 - DPC4 print order terminal
Combined with print order terminals or order-taking software, the new ASK-2000 makes it possible to create a Thermal Photo Print System for digital camera print services with minimal investment. The new DPC4 print order terminal, with its large, bright touch-sensitive panel and built-in receipt printer, accepts a wide range of digital camera and camera-phone media, and also offers high-speed wireless data transfer. The DPC4 can be networked with a PC for self-service digital camera print ordering, increasing the efficiency of in-store operations and eliminating mistaken orders and misplaced media.

Installation of order-taking application software on the PC lets customers select from an extensive menu of print types and produce their own photo CDs. Incorporating Fujifilm's proprietary Image IntelligenceT image processing technology, Fujifilm's ET Software ensures high-quality prints, increases customer convenience, and makes it possible to offer added-value printing options. Functioning as a key component in this and other print systems, the new ASK-2000 Thermal Photo Printer will play a significant role in the growth of retail photo services. Fujifilm will continue to offer innovative solutions to enhance the quality of photo communications.
