The University of Surrey is claimed to have become the first UK higher education establishment to benefit from Kodak Graphic Communications Group's (GCG) Nexpress 2100 digital colour press.
The Emtex VIP server is an output management system that provides centralised print production management, real time data stream transformation, resource management and job accounting.
The VIP server supports all leading data stream formats, including IBM AFP, Xerox LCDS, HP PCL and Adobe Postscript and PDF.
Ronen Cohen, vice president of inkjet printing solutions at Kodak's Graphic Communications Group, said: "As interest in personalized, powerful, one-to-one marketing communications continues to rise and gain popularity with marketers, our customers seek tools to efficiently manage increasingly complex projects.
Kodak and Emtex Software are providing print production systems that overcome traditional transactional print challenges, such as working with a mixture of legacy and modern applications, varying printstream formats and complex workflow requirements." In addition to the VX5000e system, the Emtex VIP Server now supports all Versamark print systems with MICR configurations.
Emtex VIP server capabilities for Versamark systems include conversions to IJPDS, even from Postscript or PDF, together with support for three-up and four-up and 300 dots per inch (dpi) and 240dpi printers.
It also features support of ICC profiles for colour conversion using the Kodak ICM colour management system to ensure accurate colour rendition, said the company.
Emtex Software also supports the Kodak Nexpress digital colour presses, providing PDL (AFP, LCDS/Metacode, PCL and PS) conversion to PDF capability, full use of shared objects in PDF to improve performance, and, like the Versamark print system, support of ICC profiles.
Kodak and Emtex Software expect to announce additional support for Nexpress presses later this year.
