line and new professional products represent Polaroid's unwavering commitment
to deliver the freshest, most up-to-the-minute technology available in instant
photography."
    The simple user interface of the Polaroid 2-Second Digital Prints kiosk
allows consumers to select, print and pay for 24 high-quality, 4x6-inch glossy
prints in two minutes. This advanced print speed makes the kiosk the fastest,
most convenient way to print photographs from a digital camera.  All PMA
attendees will have the opportunity to print their own digital camera photos
at the 2-Second Digital Prints kiosk at the Polaroid Booth #E40.
    Polaroid also will display its advanced solutions for the business user.
For the document photography market, Polaroid will showcase its Digital

of today's retailers.  For professional photographers, Polaroid will display
its new Type 80 film line.  The medium-format film series incorporates new
film chemistries engineered by Polaroid and is available in five different
emulsions.
