The SL-D1000 offers many new, eco-friendly features and improvements to its predecessor, the SL-D800. A key feature is the introduction of duplex printing. This allows retailers to expand their offering from simple photo production to high value applications such as personalised photo books, calendars and cards - an area of the market that is increasing in demand and popularity. With this production taking place on-site, retailers and copy shops retain control and also the revenue that is generated.
