Official announcements have confirmed that Hewlett-Packard Co. has inked an agreement with Tesco, in order to roll out the company's HP ML1000D dry lab technology across as many as 140 Tesco Extra outlets starting April this year.

As has been shared by HP, the expansion of the firms' photo business relationship will now give all Tesco customers a chance to access HP photo technology in-store and print photographs in a range of different sizes.

Also, customers will be allowed to print in-store gifts like posters, photo books and calenders, all thanks to the new technology.

From February 21 to 23 at booth 3120, the HP ML1000D will be showcased at the PMA tradeshow.

HP has said that the new mini-lab printer also allows for double-sided photo book pages and calenders in a mere one hour, while effectively freeing up labor, saving energy costs and reducing water and chemical waste.
