Until recently photo printing has been an analogue process fostered in a mature, closed industry. According to leading IT infrastructure distributor, Axiz, the introduction of digital photography and digital printing has changed the rules.
Users no longer need to take their photos to a photo lab to have them printed; instead they can develop them in the comfort of their own home at a reasonable cost. Redefining the ease-of-use and affordability of home printing, Axiz has announced the immediate availability of Lexmark`s most cost effective digital printer, the Lexmark P4350.
"Both experienced and inexperienced photographers now have an abundance of printing choices for their photo printing such as at home, kiosks, minilabs or even online," says Adele Oosthuizen, Lexmark product manager, Axiz.

Users can preview and print photos, without the use of a PC, from its colour LCD screen via a PictBridge interface or memory card.
