Kodak Introduces the ESP 1.2 & 3.2 All-in-One Printers and New Pic Flick HD App for iPad
The ESP 3.2 All-in-One Printer is the latest addition to Kodak’s award-winning inkjet printer portfolio. With a refreshed and modern design, it is targeted to photo-centric consumers and families who want great value, quality and simplicity. It offers Kodak’s signature easy Wi-Fi set-up and a 6.1cm colour touchscreen for effortless navigation and a better ‘walk up and print’ experience. The ESP 1.2 All-in-One Printer provides consumers with an easy way to print and save. It too offers effortless Wi-Fi set up and a 3.8cm intuitive touchframe interface for quick navigation making it simple to print, copy and scan.
With Kodak’s leading image science technology and proprietary pigment-based inks, consumers get sharp text documents and brilliant photos that dry instantly, are smudge, water and fade resistant, and last a lifetime[2], along with the lowest total ink replacement cost[3] and lowest average cost per page in the industry[4].
Consumers can print on the go from their smartphone, tablet or computer using Google Cloud Print and KODAK Email Print Service[5]. Kodak is now offering consumers the ability to customise their printer’s email address. Consumers can also save time with additional advanced features like smart sensor technology that predicts supplies and time needed to complete a job and automatically adjusts printer settings based on paper size and type.
“Our newest printers and mobile app speaks to Kodak’s commitment to deliver a print experience that meets the needs of today’s consumers, whether they are at home or away from home,” said Bob Ohlweiler, Vice President and General Manager, Consumer Business KODAK EAMER. “The new ESP 1.2 and 3.2 printers offer the value and ease you would expect from KODAK, with no trade-off on quality and performance. When it comes to printing photos, Kodak's vision is to deliver solutions that make it easy and fun to print personalised photo products at home. With this in mind, the new KODAK Pic Flick HD App enables customers to print straight from their iPad and thus do more with their photos”.
Coming in June, the free KODAK Pic Flick HD App for iPad lets consumers create personalised photo cards, collages and prints, with the ability to add captions and speech bubbles. For photo prints, KODAK Technology identifies the colours in the photo and automatically generates matching borders for prints and collages, perfect for framing.
The Pic Flick HD App joins the KODAK Pic Flick App for photo printing from smartphones and tablets[6], the KODAK Document Print App for ANDROID devices[7], and the KODAK Photo Collage Print App on FACEBOOK, the first of its kind on the site.
Kodak has also introduced a useful new service in the UK to help people save even more time and money when it comes to replacing ink. Kodak’s new ink subscription service means you never have to run out of ink again, as you can schedule an automatic delivery of ink straight to your home monthly or quarterly. Shipping is free and an email notification alerts customers seven days prior to shipment, enabling you to cancel, defer or change shipping options easily.
Available in June, the ESP 1.2 and ESP 3.2 All-in-One Printers will retail for £69 and £79 MSRP respectively.

Honeywell Announces Global Launch of Enterprise-Wide Software for Process Industries
BRACKNELL, UK. May 9, 2012 - Honeywell (NYSE:HON) today announced the global launch of Intuition Executive, the flagship product of its new Intuition software portfolio. Intuition Executive delivers enterprise-wide information management, decision support and collaboration tools to help companies achieve operational excellence.
Companies in the process industries often use dozens of applications and hundreds of spreadsheets to manage complex production operations, monitor processes and make operating decisions. These systems are usually either completely isolated or are connected with complex, custom-designed interfaces that make it difficult to use the data effectively and maintain data integrity.
With its sophisticated data processing and analytics capabilities, Intuition Executive solves this critical challenge. The software anticipates problems and identifies opportunities. Its collaboration tools highlight and capture expert knowledge, share information and help users to make more agile decisions and take action in order to drive intelligent operations and solve key challenges. For companies in the process industry this results in increased efficiency and the ability to manage and respond to volatile energy costs, complex regulatory changes, and real-world safety challenges.
“Data integration and visualization is a must have for our customers today,” said Ian Brown, vice president & general manager, Advanced Solutions, Honeywell Process Solutions. “The ability to see, understand and act on the relationships within critical data is key to creating competitive advantage, and this can only be achieved when all applications and underlying data are amalgamated. Once you do this, you can identify and take advantage of opportunities earlier, mitigate potentially damaging plant events and make confident business decisions.”
Intuition Executive is developed on and extends the functionality of Microsoft Corp. technologies such as Microsoft SharePoint 2010, SQL Server and StreamInsight to meet the requirements of industrial operations.
“Monitoring and analysing data in motion leads to earlier event detection and faster decision making. Combining business intelligence and analytics tools with existing workflows empowers organizations with the ability to take immediate action and stay ahead in today’s highly competitive industrial marketplace,” said Caglayan Arkan, general manager, Worldwide Manufacturing and Resources Sector, Microsoft. “Combined with Microsoft technologies, Intuition Executive is positioned to take advantage of computing power and complex event processing technology to analyze large data streams.”
Intuition Executive is part of the growing family of Intuition solutions that solve key industry needs such as operations monitoring, alarm management, asset management, remote operation centres, and business process optimization. Powered by Matrikon, Intuition Executive is vendor neutral and will connect to any control system or underlying data source.
