Iomega Provides Storage for Kodak Personal Picture Maker by Lexmark; With Zip 100 and 250MB Drives, Users Will Be Able to Print Color Photos Directly from a Zip Disk.

ROY, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 6, 1999--

Iomega Corporation (NYSE:IOM), a leader in smart, portable storage solutions, today announced the compatibility of its Zip(R) 100MB and/or 250MB drives as an external storage solution for the recently announced Kodak Personal Picture Maker by Lexmark. This feature-rich printer, jointly announced by Eastman Kodak Company and Lexmark International, Inc., is printer capable of stand-alone photo printing without a PC. In addition, the printer has built-in support for parallel port, external Zip 100MB and/or 250MB drives and allows users to print color photos directly from a digital camera memory card or from a Zip(R) disk without having to connect the printer to a PC.

With the Kodak Personal Picture Maker and a Zip(R) 100MB or 250MB drive, users won't have to worry about buying and learning any extra software. Without having to transfer photos onto a PC, all users have to do is press a button to print directly from the Zip disk or camera memory card. And, by transferring your images from the memory card directly to the Zip drive, you'll be able to free up room on the camera card to take even more pictures.

"Iomega is happy to provide solutions that enhance the user's experience with digital photography," said Keith Slankard, director of Zip business development, Iomega Corporation. "Consumers can offload their images from the digital camera to their Zip drive, letting them continue to shoot pictures. They can also output from the Zip drive directly to the Kodak Personal Picture Maker for quick and easy image printing. Consumers can use the Zip drive to create digital photo albums by organizing and storing a collection of personalized digital camera pictures onto a Zip disk. With a Zip 100MB drive users can save up to 100 megapixel, or near 35 millimeter quality photos on a single disk."

The Kodak Personal Picture Maker by Lexmark incorporates an onboard digital camera card reader that loads, manipulates and prints digital photos, without having to connect cables to a computer or digital camera. The user simply pops in the camera card and prints. The card reader accepts both CompactFlash and Smart Media cards.

Before printing their pictures, people can have fun personalizing them by adding creative borders and text. A Kodak template option, built into the printer software, can also be selected to create borderless pictures and stickers using Kodak Inkjet Photo Paper, which is available in perforated sheets including, 5x7 -, 4x6 - and 3.5x5-inch prints per page. The menu on the printer's display panel easily guides users through a variety of printing options, such as choosing which and how many photos to print on each page.

"With our success using the Zip drive with our Photo JetPrinter 5770, we knew that using the Zip drive with the Kodak Personal Picture Maker was the logical choice for us," said Patrick King, general manager, Worldwide Inkjet Products, Lexmark. "The Zip drive has a reputation for enabling other innovative technology and helping to put the latest technological advances well within the consumer's reach. Customers want easy-to-use printing solutions that will help them achieve high quality results and the Kodak Personal Picture Maker by Lexmark answers that need."

"Adding external Zip drive support to our photo printer gives consumers a way to store their picture files without using a computer," said Philip Gerskovich, chief operating officer and vice president, Digital and Applied Imaging, Eastman Kodak Company. "And they can always go back and print more copies directly from the Zip drive connected to the printer."

The Kodak Personal Picture Maker by Lexmark is now shipping and will be available through a wide network of retailers, catalogs and traditional computer dealers. The printer is available for an estimated street price of $149 (U.S.) after a $50 mail-in rebate.

With more than 26 million Zip drives and more than 150 million Zip disks shipped worldwide, Iomega Zip drives and genuine 100MB and 250MB disks offer an easy to use solution for consumers to move, protect, use, share and backup important information on their computers.
