PhotoAccess to Offer Print@Kodak Service to Provide Premium Digital Print Processing Over the Internet

PhotoAccess uses its new PhotoDispatcher™ System to enable fast and easy delivery of digital pictures through Print@Kodak

Mountain View, CA, June 27, 2000
PhotoAccess.com Corporation, a leading provider of digital imaging solutions for the Internet, today announced an agreement with the Eastman Kodak Company to offer Print@Kodak as a premium service for digital photofinishing to PhotoAccess.com customers. Kodak, recognized globally for premium quality photofinishing, will provide the Print@Kodak service to PhotoAccess by processing and delivering premium prints from digital photos uploaded to the PhotoAccess.com site. PhotoAccess will deploy its proprietary work order routing system, PhotoDispatcher™ to automatically dispatch its customers' orders for high quality Kodak prints directly to Print@Kodak.

The new agreement with Kodak, coupled with the implementation of PhotoAccess' proprietary work order routing system, PhotoDispatcher, will benefit customers by enabling PhotoAccess to provide the best solution for a customer's needs, and provide the easiest and quickest way to get premium quality prints from digital pictures.

"PhotoAccess recognizes the value that Kodak, the industry leader in photofinishing and a brand name that consumers trust and believe in, can add to our own products and services," said Gene Wang, chairman and CEO for PhotoAccess. "By offering a premium service option through Print@Kodak, PhotoAccess guarantees its customers the highest-quality prints and services."

"Kodak's goal is to provide consumers with an outstanding experience wherever they shop by offering the highest quality products and services," said Nancy Carr, vice president, Digital and Applied Imaging, Eastman Kodak Company. "This agreement underscores our strategy of being a provider of digital services to the Internet photography industry and making the Kodak brand as well known on-line as it is off-line. We are very pleased that PhotoAccess is one of our first customers."

This announcement is the latest to support PhotoAccess' vision of providing partners and consumers worldwide with the most convenient, cost-effective way to obtain film-quality prints from digital photos. With PhotoAccess' proprietary PhotoStreamer™ software, a computer will automatically detect a digital camera and launch the software, allowing customers to upload all their photos with one click. And now, with PhotoDispatcher, digital photo orders are automatically routed across PhotoAccess' alliance of print partners-providing the fastest turnaround, highest quality and most affordable order fulfillment. This model supports PhotoAccess' rapid globalization strategy, e.g. the recent launch of their Japanese service (see release issued April 12, 2000). The launch of the Japanese Web site, www.PhotoAccess.co.jp, makes PhotoAccess the first US mover into the world's largest digital photography market.

Wang added, "Imagine capturing photographic memories with your eCamera while on vacation, sending your favorite digital images to family and friends and returning home to find photos waiting in your mail box-all without having to connect to a PC."

"With the advent of the eCamera and PhotoChip, the next generation of digital cameras will offer superior performance with an untethered operation and much faster processing speeds," said Mammad Safai, vice president and general manager of eCamera Systems for PhotoAccess. "We are very pleased to make the eCamera and PhotoChip technologies available and to have the opportunity to contribute toward the next significant step in this rapidly growing market."
