    (February  2007) — Xerox Corp. and Fujifilm USA Inc. have signed deals that put Xerox technology in the hands of photo retailers and professional photo labs, and open another competitive skirmish between Xerox and Eastman Kodak Co.Xerox and Fuji said today they will collaborate on a system that will use Fuji digital processing technology and kiosks and Xerox Phaser laser printers to produce photo books, photo calendars, greeting cards and other customized photo products.The two companies also announced a similar solution using Xerox DocuColor 240/250 machines for commercial photo labs that will allow those labs to print a slew of products from greeting cards and photo books to posters and trading cards.“From a quality standpoint, the Xerox DocuColor 240/250 color printer was the only product on the market that could meet the high standards of our pro and commercial lab customers,” John Meyer, vice president of commercial marketing, Fujifilm said in a statement.Financial terms of the deals were not immediately disclosed. The two companies said they would show off the technologies during the Photo Marketing Association International’s annual trade show in Las Vegas March 8-11.Photo retailers and commercial and professional printers have been a traditional strong point of Kodak’s photo business.
