Marly, Switzerland, 19 June, 2008 – Shooting, printing and sharing your most memorable images has become a favourite pastime for many of us today. Your family party or weekend away can be easily captured and reproduced thanks to advanced digital technology and reliable home printing solutions.

Products are compatible with good inkjet, including borderless, printers.

The Discovery Pack includes:

o Premium Photo Glossy 250gsm - 20 sheets - Perfect for framing your latest holiday photographs;

“Professional looking prints can be easily achieved at home and in addition, it’s an enjoyable activity that the whole family can participate in”, said Andrew Stewart, Sales and Marketing Director, ILFORD Imaging Switzerland GmbH. “By launching the ILFORD Discovery Pack, we hope to dispel the myth that you need a technical background to print great images and instead, show people how they can play with their pictures by varying the type of photo paper surface and weight. This selection means we can provide the photo enthusiast with a varied product line for a range of creative applications, be it for creating photo albums or simply framing a favourite image,” he concluded.
