Bluechip Photokiosk

Bluechip Computer AG is a solutions provider for photo kiosk products and associated services. As one of the most important development partners and the main hardware component supplier to the front-end division of AgfaPhoto GmbH, Bluechip Computer AG has been building its experience in this segment since 2001.

Bluechip Computer AG developed, manufactured and marketed, in conjunction with AgfaPhoto, the Agfa Image Box, an all in one PC solution complete with touch screen. These devices are used in specialised shops as digital order stations for all storage media and digital cameras.

In May 2005, Bluechip Computer AG added the self-service photo print solution PhotoKiosk to its portfolio. The new kiosk is a complete photo printing solution that can be installed as a self-service terminal in a wide range of locations. The self-service kiosk enables users to print photos from their mobile phones or digital cameras simply and inexpensively. These can be printed as standard, index card, greetings card or collage. Alternatively, they can be burnt to CD.

To date, Bluechip Computer AG has manufactured 110 kiosks the majority of which are being installed in Marktkauf stores in a project that began in early 2007. The kiosk comprises a 15in touch screen, together with an input unit for digital media, a photo printer and a receipt printer. For the latter, Bluechip Computer AG selected the TSP600 thermal receipt printer from international POS printer manufacturer, Star Micronics.

The TSP600 thermal receipt printer was chosen for its long-term reliability, high-speed performance, two-colour output and 'Drop-in & Print' paper loading design.

As Maik Kränkel, Senior Account Manager, Bluechip Computer AG states, “As we needed a printer that offered high quality performance and reliability we selected the TSP600 from Star Micronics. This printer meets all our criteria and has proved to be the perfect solution.”
