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 added that the system also includes a light duty plate processor in a compact size and the Prinergy Evo PDF workflow system.
Marc Delorme, Kodak's product manager for newspaper CTP products, said: "The Violetnews System combines the benefits of CTP, such as higher productivity and lower costs, with the efficiency of working with a single provider to make the transition from film to CTP production.
Violetnews expands our portfolio for addressing all segments in the newspaper market.
Now even the smallest newspapers, which may have been unable to justify the capital expense of CTP from other vendors, can afford to go digital." H Jack Knadjian, Kodak's vice president for the publishing market, added: "We believe that thermal and visible light systems have a place in the newspaper market.
Now, with the Violetnews we offer both technologies and can provide a complete system for all newspaper segments - small, medium and large.".
