Jessops named premier partner to Microsoft Windows XP

The company has been chosen by Microsoft as the only UK-based Internet printing partner for the new operating system. The selection means Jessops will feature among a select group of service providers to which Windows XP users can send their digital images, in order to get real photographic prints.

Windows XP, available in the high street from October 25th, will feature enhanced facilities for the capture, management and sharing of digital images. The opportunity to quickly and easily order high-quality photographic prints on-line will be a central element.

The Windows XP operating system aims to make ordering real photographic prints from digital images easy. Users simply choose the images they wish to print, and then launch the OnLine Print Wizard. This guides them through the process step by step, including selecting print sizes for each image, and completing delivery and payment details.

Images sent through this service are processed using Jessops' latest 'Diamond laser' digital systems and printed onto photographic paper guaranteed fade free for 75 years.
