Services
Ritz Camera was the first chain photo-finishers to offer 4x6 prints from 35mm film, as well as free bordered prints as standard. Ritz Camera is also the first national chain to offer 4.5x6, commonly known as 6D, prints. Unlike the traditional 4x6 prints used for film, Ritz's 6D prints reflect the different aspect ratio of 4:3 digital images. Ritz stores stocked 6D sized frames and albums.
In July 2003 Ritz Camera introduced Ritzpix.com, which also offers customers online ordering and in-store pickup within an hour. Ritzpix.com is currently powered by Lucidiom. In 2010, customers had an option on ritzpix.com to have an online order delivered next day to their home at no extra charge.
In May 2006 Ritz Camera announced a partnership with YesVideo to start offering same day DVD Transfers in all stores nationwide. These stores can transfer VHS, SVHS, MiniDv, Digital 8, and digital media to DVDs in about the time any particular tape takes to play.
In 2007 and early 2008, Ritz began installing Oki and Xerox equipment in their locations to enable the production of hard-back photo books, photo calendars and custom greeting cards by customers via in-store kiosks or through RitzPix.com for in-store pick up. Ritz, along with Motophoto, are the only two national retailers to offer these services in a one-hour lab.
Beginning in 2008, Ritz began installing lamination/mounting machines in many of their stores to offer foamcore mounting and laminating up to 24x36 inch prints in store.
In February 2010, Ritz started offering Metallic Printing up to 30x40 size on Kodak Professional Endura Metallic Paper and Deep Matte Prints on Fujifilm Paper.
In May 2010, Ritz Camera started the Ritzpix Network, which for up to $20/month in imaging products, customers could get up to $100 off any qualifying camera. After multiple request from customers, Ritz Camera & Image created the Ritz & Wolf Photo Patrol. Photo Patrol consist of Private Tutoring, four free Photography Classes with camera purchase, and 2 hr. seminar classes.
