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.
Kodak's flexo printing system's technology award
Kodak's Flexcel NX digital flexographic system is one of 10 products to win a PIA/GATF Intertech Technology Award.
The system is claimed to provide the ability to print high volume transactional documents, billing statements and direct mail in full process colour with variable data with a single pass printing process that saves time and provides a low cost per image.
Ronen Cohen, vice president of marketing, inkjet printing solutions at Kodak's Graphic Communications Group, said: "Companies increasingly recognise the power of turning transactional documents in to marketing tools by adding personalised messages and promotional offers.
Adding colour significantly increases response rates and return on investment, making these materials even more effective." He added: "Kodak was the first to introduce colour IPDS systems and continues to be a leader, enabling marketers to take advantage of one to one communications whilst providing transactional printers with savings in labour, time, expenses and space by producing an entire piece with the Versamark V-Series printing systems and the CS300c System Controller." The third generation platform of the CS300c System Controller is said to enable processing speeds up to seven times greater than the previous system controller.
The Versamark V-Series printing systems with the CS300c controller will run 300 dots per inch (dpi) x 600dpi images at maximum rated web speeds of up to 500 feet per minute (150 metres per minute) whilst interpreting full colour FS42 or FS45 data through the IPDS data stream.
Kodak added that the system supports up to 16 DH90 printheads, enabling full colour, two-up, duplex printing that equates to printing colour documents at up to 2,180 letter size or 2,052 A4 size images per minute.
The same printing system, using the CS300c controller, can continue to print legacy jobs in monochrome or spot colour.
