March 8, 2007 Seattle, WA – Express Imaging
Systems, LLC (EIS) a leading developer of digital imaging
technologies, announced today that the Europa 10 high speed
digital printer, took 1st place in its class at the prestigious
12th Annual DIMA (Digital Imaging Marketing Association) Shoot-Out
held at the 2007 PMA (Photo Marketing Association) trade show.
The Europa 10, which prints 5x7 digital images at a rate of
10,000 prints/hour, has garnered highest score each year since
the 2005 inception of the RA4 digital printer category and
has beat its previous score each year. Consistently strong
on text, tonality, detail and shadow depth, this year the
Europa digital printer scored high on flesh tones, hue shift,
and color measurement. Prints for the competition were made
from a demanding high resolution digital file created by PMA.
“Year after year the Europa has been its own best competition.
We improved our score 7% over 2006, and 27% over 2005,”
said Bryan Heathman, VP of Marketing for Express Imaging Systems,
LLC. “It is important to us to build hardware for wholesale
photofinishing labs that will produce the best quality prints
in the world. Our winning scores reflect that quality.”
The Europa's LED/LCD exposure technology is 8x the resolution
of an HDTV and contributes to the award winning quality of
its 450 pixel per inch (ppi) prints, now available exclusively
under the HD PrintsTM seal. Europa digital printers combine
reliability, high speed and low cost of ownership. With a
throughput of 10,000 prints per hour (upgradeable to 15,000
prints per hour), wholesale photo labs can have productivity
and quality without an outsized capital investment. Due to
its open architecture interface, the Europa easily integrates
with any digital workflow, including Agfa dWS. The Europa
ships complete with an environmentally-friendly thermal transfer
Backprinter.
Further information about HD PrintsTM and the Europa line
of digital printers can be obtained by visiting EIS during
