Retailer offers wide format prints

Poster printing and signage services will now be available at more than 580 Sam’s Club locations throughout the United States, courtesy of Fujifilm.

The solution combines an Epson/Fujifilm Stylus Pro 7800 wide format inkjet printer, with the Frontier Photo Controller (PIC) Version 3, and Fujifilm’s imaging processing system, Image Intelligence.

Sam’s Club members can bring their images to any location, and print out images or signs in sizes ranging from 11"x14" to 20"x30". In addition, this is one of the only on-demand solutions that will produce mounted poster prints, up to 20"x24", in a matter of minutes.

"The posters can be produced in a variety of sizes on the same day, at a reasonable cost, and represent additional revenue for the photofinishing side of Sam’s Club’s business," said Thomas Curley, Director of Marketing, Imaging Division, Fujifilm USA.

With this offering, Sam’s Club members can create posters for student or office presentations, create signage for community group meetings and small businesses, as well as make creative decorations for parties and milestone celebrations.

"This is an exciting new addition to our capabilities at Sam’s Club Photo Centers and positions us to better help our members with both their business and personal graphic needs" said Michael Chaney, Merchandise Director, Sam’s Club. "We believe our members will find this printing solution convenient and superior in quality to similar production techniques"
