BELTSVILLE, Md. - January 6, 2005 - Ritz Camera Centers has added another feature to their stores to make printing digital images even easier than before. Print Bars have been installed in approximately 50 Ritz Camera and Wolf Camera stores across the country, with more stores scheduled to get the print bar equipment this year.

Print Bars allow customers to sit at machines to select, edit, and print their digital images from their media cards. This new service gives customers a chance to relax and take their time while going through their images on the screen. Comfort and convenience were key points when designing the Print Bars, and as always prints can be made in as fast as 10 minutes.

Chairman and CEO David Ritz said, "We at Ritz Camera are always thinking of new ways to improve the picture-making experience for our customers, and the Print Bar has taken it to another level. We want our customers to be happy with their prints so for added comfort and ease while they choose and edit their images, the natural step was to install Print Bars with seating for our digital printing machines."
