New Add-Ons! Passport Photos, Scanning & Greeting Cards
|
|
With version 3.0, you can purchase and install three software extras, which
work embedded in the APM software. Expand your offerings today!
Contact Lucidiom Sales for
pricing or to purchase.
Passport Photos
Offer an easy way for customers to size and position passport or ID photos.
Labs can set price and quantity of photos per print.
Scanning (Print-to-Print)
Connect a scanner to your APM and tap into a whole new market.
Customers follow a simple interface to scan photos, and the resulting digital images slip
right into the existing APM workflow--it couldn't be easier! And, settings allow you to
charge a fee for this premium service.
Supported scanners: EPSON Expression 1640, EPSON Perfection 2480/2580, Canon CanoScan LiDE 30,
Canon CanoScan LiDE 35, Canon CanoScan LiDE 80, Canon CanoScan LiDE 500F and HP PrecisionScan LTX 1.2.
APM Greetings!
Lucidiom's Greetings software has been around since version 2.2, but do you know what some of our
brilliant customers are doing? They are taking advantage of the open-source APM Greeting Template
System to create their own templates...and they don't just stop at 4x8 cards.
Some smart labs have created scrapbook page templates, magazine covers, sports card frames,
frames for school pictures that are complete with the name and logo of all their local schools.
The possibilities are endless, and the profit margins are high!

client will be entered just once. Low resolution entries will be disqualified. The APM must be in the photo.

From the Support Desk
Remote APMs:
With the APM system, it’s easy to place kiosks in remote locations to increase your revenue. As long as you
can plug the kiosk into the internet, the APM Order Agent (formerly called APM Anywhere)
add-on will automatically transfer orders back to your lab
for printing via the Print Station software. Extend the reach of your store--consider a remote installation!
