Kodak Versamark is also emphasising workflows at the exhibition with a centre dedicated to document composition and management with demonstrations of the company's software, along with systems from a number of software partners.
The centre is designed to give users a clear understanding of the range of available options to manage the entire document lifecycle.
The newest V-series system, the VX5000e, features Kodak Versamark's latest high-resolution, print technology and is driven by the CS600 controller developed jointly with EFI (formerly Electronics For Imaging).
The CS600 delivers fully integrated colour management and support for multiple data streams.
