Kevin Joyce, who has been appointed as chief marketing officer at Kodak's Graphic Communications Group, believes that the printing industry needs to take a fresh look at how it markets itself.
Beta tests will begin after Drupa and the company expects the machine to be available by the end of 2004.
The firm will also present other renamed Versamark machines.
The Jetblack becomes the VJ1000 and the Vantage the VT3000.
Other new products include a UV-cured 4300 series overprinter, the 4350 that will handle a wider range of substrates and applications.
It is believed that there will be a Nexpress on the Versamark stand.
Kodak Versamark has also announced details of its next generation Stream print head.
Commercially, it is said to be three to five years away although the company believes it will provide lower cost and compatibility with a wider range of inks and fluids.
Stream combines continuous and drop-on-demand ink-jet technologies with semi-conductor manufacturing techniques.
