Studio01 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Hi, I have a familiar photoshop specialized in massive printings and any other similar digital image products. I openned 5 years ago my shop and from the begginning I have a web service that allow to my customers send via web their photos. It is a very simply web java tool that only allows to send files to my site,but it does the job, and many customers use it. They send the photos and, in a text form, they specify what they want and images are sent to my ftp account. I download and print that order and customer comes to my shop and pick the photos and pay. I know that there are dedicated tools to make that, and allowing to select sizes and number of photos, but I find that they are very expensive and I don't have enough web transit to spend that money for it. Does anybody know any cheap system to do that, with a dedicated software or thru an independent website that make easy to customer to select and send any order online to my minilab. I know the XKiosk option (I don't know if the web option is still active) but I wonder if exists any other options. Studio01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dave Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Studio1, This is where Dakis shines. They do charge you 3cents / image uploaded (not # of prints of that image) It seems fair, and the interface is great for just ordering prints. with the crop/zoom/resize, etc. No Monthly fees, just the 3 cents / image. Now if we could all just find a good open source version of this, that would be great. In the meantime, I'll just stick with the Dakis.

Studio01 Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Big Dave, Do you know if Dakis is multilanguage? I'm not from the US, so I need Spanish or Catalan, our native language in Catalonia. Thanks in advance. Studio01 pd:I've requested some information to Dakis. I'll wait for an answer...

bubar Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 I'm wondering why this post is in the KIS section ? Anyway, that's not so bad as KIS have a new creative print software for their kiosks that can generate an end user software you give to your customers to play at home; this software allows your customers to bring back the order on a usb stick or to send it via an FTP server... The only cost is the one of the kiosk software, and that could be interface with most minilabs brands... One recommendation: try to use a recent computer for the kiosk software, not a 5 year old computer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studio01 Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 OK, sorry but as I am a Kiss machine owner I always look in the Kiss section and I didn't realize that my question was a generic question. I know about the soft but I have a kiosk (eStation) and I don't have that soft, so if I want it I'll have to buy it and it's not a cheap thing. I only wanted to know other possibilities into online ordering photo. I emailed Dakis and still no answer. Studio01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
