Photo and Image Distribution and Archiving

Business Applications

Photo and Image Distribution and Archiving

The move from analog to digital has revolutionized the photo business. This applies for capturing and editing pictures, processing of paper copies and the storage of images. Surprisingly, most people still rely on memory cards or PC hard drives as their sole storage media and might therefore experience unexpected losses of picture archives.

Rimage disc publishing systems are widely used in wholesale and retail photo labs to produce individual archival CDs or DVDs, often with thumbnail pictures printed on top for easy identification. Fully automated production allows them to achieve tough cost targets; and relevant data can be directly retrieved from the order management system via the Rimage API.

Use bar codes in your production work flow? Sure you do. Rimage has a full set of bar code formats that can be automatically merged into and printed on each disc.

New tools enable the fast and easy creation of animated multimedia photo DVDs – the perfect format for presents and presentations. And, if your client has enough photos – or videos – storage on Blu-ray discs is also possible.

End User Benefits

  • Additional revenue stream for photo labs through picture CDs and photo DVDs at a very profitable cost per disc.
  • Increased perceived value for customers through personalized thumbnails printed directly on the disc surface.
  • You can supply your customers an additional digital photo archive on disc to avoid irrecoverable loss of pictures.
  • High performance throughput for speedy production of CDs and DVDs.
  • Tightly integrated through most major photo system minilabs and systems.

Rimage disc publishing and disc duplicating systems can easily integrate into YOUR workflow – not the other way around. Adding the capability to automatically record and print CDs, DVDs, and Blu ray discs, from any PC, Mac, or other workstation on your network can have a profound effect on your productivity.
