Lab 50 software manages production workflow and interfaces with all printersinkjet, dye sub, minilab and laser.

The APM Print & Scan, housing one kiosk, two printers and flatbed scanner, allows photofinishing retailers to grow beyond their store borders. At only 18" wide, 25" deep and 42" high, the APM Print & Scan is ideal for retail locations with limited space inside the store and for retailers that are looking to set up remote kiosks in local cafs, hotels, hospitals and other community gathering spots.
