Hewlett Packard have announced an agreement with Tesco to introduce ML1000D Photo Labs to all Tesco Extra Stores. Beginning this April, Tesco Extra customers can print everything from photos to posters and calendars at 140 supermarkets.

HP’s mini-lab is the only device capable of printing single-sided photos and duplex photo book pages available in retail. The machine delivers up to 1500 prints an hour available in 16 possible sizes, and prints are guaranteed for 200 years.

The agreement extends a partnership begun in March 2009 between Tesco and Hewlett Packard, when HP introduced Photo Centre 4.0 labs into Tesco supermarkets.

Speaking then, Rohit de Souza, VP of Retail Publishing Solutions at Hewlett Packard said: “HP is helping Tesco seize new growth opportunities and tap into the vast publishing marketplace that exists today.”

The retail publishing market is expected to grow by $36 billion in the next several years.
