To match the look and feel of the Versamark V-series, Kodak will offer customers the HC5500, a high speed sheetfed, full colour inkjet printer from Riso that ties directly in to the same workflow driving the Versamark V-series.
With image processing and colour setting software from Kodak and the high speed sheetfed capability of the HC5500, the system is said to be suitable for reprinting the small jobs that are inefficient on the high production speed Versamark V-series, added Kodak.
Ronen Cohen, vice president of marketing, inkjet printing solutions at Kodak's Graphic Communications Group, commented: "With jobs that run in to the millions of impressions, occasionally some may be damaged in processing and we want to help our customers manage the reprints in an efficient manner.
