BOXERS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS HOLD EVENT FOR DOWNS SYNDROME ASSOCIATION

LONDON, JULY 3, 2006 - Former World Boxing Champions Frank Bruno, Colin McMillan and Charlie Magri posed for photographs with members of the public this July 1st and 2nd at the Sun Kissed music festival in Essex, to raise funds for the Downs Syndrome Association. The photographs were printed on the spot, and sold right away, with 100% of receipts going to the charity. They were taken by photographer Kirk Verdi - he and his staff gave their time for free. Kirk also donated the use of his classic Ferrari cars to the event, and enlisted the support of leading photographic supplier, Photomart, and manufacturer Mitsubishi, to provide the instant digital photo prints sold on the day. Paul Zanon, Fundraising Manager for the Downs Syndrome Association, attended.

PHOTOMART MARK SUCCESS OF MINILAB MODEL

PHOTOMART CELEBRATES 1210 MINILAB SALES WITH 18 MONTH EXTENDED WARRANTY LONDON, July 7, 2006 - Photomart, one of the leading trade-sellers of photographic equipment and supplies in the UK, announced today that the DOLI DL1210, the company's best selling minilab of the past twelve months, has been chosen as the minilab component of Mitsubishi's FLEXILAB digital print solutions from Photomart. Expanding on an earlier announcement, the company issued a summary analysis stating that, in terms of both gross and units shipped, the DL1210 had not only outsold all other minilabs offered by Photomart, but had in fact sold more than all other minilab plant put together, making it an obvious choice. "Photo outlets have gone digital", Photomart MD, Lewis Martindale, said, "they want digital minilabs and photo printers. But they need minilabs suited to the market conditions of the 21st century, not only in features, but also in price. I knew as soon as I saw the Doli 1210 it was a model that would sweep the market." The fast, compact, affordable DL1210 is the minilab component Photomart promote, not only for use with their Mitsubishi FLEXILAB solutions, but also as one of four recommended additions for labs: 1) add a digital minilab, 2) add instant digital photo printing, 3) add an id-photo service, and 4) add a portrait studio. To mark the DL1210's success, Photomart announced that sales of the model from July onward will include a warranty extended to 18 months. "We have very good experience of the reliability of this best selling model", Lewis Martindale said, "and I want to pass that peace of mind on to our customers."
