Sony showcasing PictureStation kiosk at PMA 2010

At this year's Photo Marketing Association Expo, PMA 2010, Sony is showcasing its PictureStation and SnapLab systems that allow retailers to offer more than just a comprehensive digital photo kiosk.

These solutions can be customized for different sales environments, as a countertop unit in the form of the Sony SnapLab or as a stand-alone PictureStation kiosk, according to a company release.

Sony's system helps retailers offer everything from 4 x 6 photo prints to MemoryStick media, digital photo frames, Cybershot digital cameras, batteries and readable/writeable disks for sharing and storing photos after printing.

The new Compact PictureStation system is a full-featured digital photo printing kiosk with a small footprint to fit virtually any store layout, offering the flexibility of a network configured system that allows users to send photos from their home to the retailer for pick-up, create online photobooks or order photo gift products.
