Ted's and HP

Our HP Photo Equipment

At Ted's we use a combination of high quality HP equipment. The HP Photosmart ML1000D Minilab printer is the first dry, inkjet minilab capable of producing traditional single-sided photo prints as well as duplex photo book pages and calendars in a single machine in as little as 1 hour.

The HP Photosmart ML1000D Minilab printer is a milestone in HP’s effort to transform the imaging and printing industry from traditional analog systems to digital solutions as well as its environmental commitment.

The HP Photo Centre Kiosks are widely regarded amongst the industry and users alike as the market leader for easy of use, speed and variety of services

Ted's and the environment

Ted's believe the time to move away from traditional chemical based photo production to an 'environmentally greener' method has arrived.

For decades HP has been an environmental leader, driving company stewardship through its HP Eco Solutions program. HP influences industry action by setting high environmental standards in its operations and supply chain, by providing practical solutions to make it easier for customers to reduce their climate impact and through its research on sustainability solutions that support a low-carbon economy. More information on HP’s Eco Solutions program is available at www.hp.com/ecosolutions.

The HP Minilab enables Ted's to significantly reduce electrical power consumption and eliminate the use of hazardous chemicals and water entirely for the processing of prints. Retailers choosing the HP Photosmart ML1000D Minilab printer over a silver-halide photo finishing system can experience a 64 percent savings in energy and an average savings of 133,000 litres of chemical and water discharge per year.
