Any silver halide minilab can now become a powerful onsite production system for top quality photobooks and folded greeting cards with the new KIS Photo-Me Photobook Builder. Prints from the minilab are simply stacked in the feeder and the Photobook Builder does the rest automatically.
The Photobook Builder scores, folds, glues, binds and trims these products without any operator intervention, producing an exceptional finished photographic memory for your customers. A ten-page 5.7x8”(14.5x20cm) photobook (books as big as 30 pages can be made) is finished in just over two minutes, and up to 20 photo greeting cards are folded and glued in about 20 minutes. The revolutionary KIS cold bonding process perfected for dye sub media has been thoroughly tested with real photographic paper prints to make photobooks unaffected by high humidity, large temperature swings, UV exposure or pollutants in the air.
Photobook Builder is compatible with any brand of RA4 minilab that makes 8x12”/20x30cm prints. It delivers high value-added products with virtually no labor producing an unbeatable production cost, which results in gross margins as high as 80%.
