 | Adding KADC Technologies to Your Products
In addition to creating and adapting technologies for Kodak products, Kodak's Austin Development Center also licenses its technology to other original equipment manufacturers for use in their products. At present, Kodak's ADC is working with scanner and minilab manufacturers such as Nikon, Minolta, Noritsu, Epson, Microtek, and many others, to add its technologies to selected models. The process is surprisingly fast and straightforward, offering breakthrough product benefits without the time commitment and headaches often seen in new product development. Our staff is with you every step of the way to speed your new scanner to market as quickly as possible. | |
