At the recent Ipex, Kodak announced its comprehensive paper strategy for the Kodak Prosper Press Platform. The strategy encompasses development programs with world-leading paper mills to produce paper optimized for inkjet printing; an in-line paper pre-treatment module for the Prosper Press to allow the use of offset and existing inkjet paper stocks; and a paper certification program to help printers confidently and reliably select appropriate paper stocks for various applications.
"The Prosper Press Platform is a breakthrough technology, bringing previously unattainable levels of quality, productivity and total cost of ownership to the digital print market," said Kevin Joyce, Worldwide Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Digital Printing Solutions, Kodak. "The next step in driving value for print service providers and their customers is this comprehensive paper strategy, which delivers the widest choice and range of substrates to accommodate the needs of the commercial printing, book manufacturing, direct mail, and catalog markets. Taken together, all the parts of the strategy deliver substrate flexibility, maximum productivity and offset class quality."
The comprehensive paper strategy for the Prosper Press Platform will help printers choose the right paper for their specific application with a paper certification program, and provides the option to purchase paper optimized for inkjet printing from a paper mill or pre-treating paper in-house using the Prosper In-line Optimization Station, depending on the customer’s business model and operational requirements.
