Corporation, an award-winning developer and marketer of productivity applications, graphics and multimedia software, will bundle Corel Print & Photo House(TM) Select 2.0 with the new HP OfficeJet series 500 printer-fax-copier-scanner.
HP announced an expanded family of OfficeJet all-in-one desktop color peripherals designed for small-business and home-office customers last month.
"This marks an exciting new opportunity for Corel," said Dr. Michael Cowpland, president and chief executive officer of Corel Corporation. "HP is a global leader in the manufacturing of computing, communications and measurement products and bundling our Corel Print & Photo House Select 2.0 as part of the new OfficeJet series will be extremely advantageous for Corel."
Corel Print & Photo House(TM) is an easy-to-use graphics package designed to help home or small business users create greeting cards, certificates, banners, business forms, signs, calendars and more. Corel Photo House, a brand new photo-editing and bitmap creation application, has been developed to make it easy for users to scan in their own photographs, touch them up, and add fun special effects or create bitmap images using the painting tools. The version of Corel Print& Photo House Select 2.0 included with the OfficeJet series 500 printer-fax-copier-scanner will
be an OEM version with reduced clipart and photo libraries.
HP's new OfficeJet all-in-one products integrate a variety of functions -- including professional-quality color printing, copying, scanning and faxing -- and deliver them in consumer-friendly, space-saving designs at prices that are expected to start at a suggested retail price of $499 (U.S.).
