Kinney Drugs Deploying Kodak Photofinishing Solutions Chain-wide

Wednesday 15. July 2009 - Exclusive Agreement Ensures Continued Delivery of Cutting Edge Photo Processing Technology with the Benefit of Greener Prints

Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK) and Kinney Drugs, a leading community pharmacy and retail business in New York and Vermont, today announced the deployment of KODAK Picture Kiosks and KODAK Adaptive Picture Exchange (APEX) thermal dry lab systems into all Kinney Drug Stores. The agreement enables Kinney Drugs to operate its in-store photofinishing services more cost effectively and create a more sustainable retail environment, while allowing its customers to enjoy top-of-the-line print and photo creation products.

Kinney Drugs has taken advantage of Kodak’s scalable suite of photo processing and photo creation solutions, selecting specific equipment configurations to meet each store’s volume and available space requirements. Kinney Drugs will be leveraging a combination of Kodak’s Multi-Station Kiosk technology, Kodak’s APEX dry lab system, Kodak Print Stations, and G4x order stations.

“Kodak technology provides us with the most innovative solution to offer customers the highest quality photo finishing products and services on the market,” said Richard A. Cognetti Jr., VP Retail Merchandising Kinney Drugs. “Replacing our existing fleet of wet lab printing systems with faster, more cost-effective Kodak APEX systems and instant Kiosks will improve photo center operations and is better for the environment.”

“It is exciting to see another strong drug chain revamping its photo operations with the Kodak solution. Kinney Drugs is truly leveraging Kodak’s flexible system to meet the needs of each individual store in their chain,” said Mike Saturnia, Director and Vice President of Sales, Eastman Kodak Company. “We are excited to be able to assist Kinney Drugs with bringing high quality prints and premium photo products to their loyal customer base.”
