Didn't find on kodak.co.nz website, so if I use one of their self help in store kiosks to print photos from a USB:

What are the dimensions that you can get printed from one of their kiosks?
Specifically, for the standard print are they inches (6x4) or cms (15x10)?
What dpi do they print at, 300 or 600 dpi or other?

Thanks

I'm not familiar with Kodak's service but common practise is for labs to print digital photos at 300dpi with the standard size being 6 x 4 inches, which is 15 x 10 centimetres. Some labs will allow you to print at 6 x 4.5 inches in order to get the same proportions as the images produced by most digital cameras, but I'm happy to simply crop my photos before submitting them for printing.

I don't know the exact full specs but I got very nice Matte 6 x 4 prints from this system and was rather impressed especially for the bargain price.. True photo paper and prints.

It works fine from MOST usb sticks but would not read my special bootable one.

A much better idea quality wise and probably much cheaper than using a home printer.

My home photo printer just lacks quality allround and I need some quality prints with varying sizes.

How good are these things at resizing photos up and down, because being pedantic, 6x4 inches isn't exactly 15x10, although I know we're only talking in the tens of pixels...

As far a "tens of pixels" go you are probably losing those as part of producing a borderless print.

The Kodak recommended minimum pixel dimensions are quite low so they must be prepared to interpolate to suit their printer.
