Nexpress Solutions has completed its the first installation of a Kodak Digimaster E150 digital production system in the UK at Henry Ling.

5th Colour Unit On Digital Press Proves Its Worth
Nexpress has launched a fifth imaging unit for its 2100 digital production colour press.
Our heaviest workload is generally the last week of the month, so the minimum print speed had to be at least 135 pages per minute (ppm) and 100 ppm.
We also needed in-line finishing of the print products." Another requirement was that the existing software environment, consisting of a UNIX DP server and Digipath connection, had to be retained.
"Additionally as we have limited space, the new production systems could only be 3.90 metres and 3.60 metres long," added Huther.
The Digimaster E150 produces up to 150 ppm and prints paperweights ranging up to 266gsm.
Print formats can be variably selected up to size 364mm x 470mm and the basic E150 configuration includes six paper drawers for 8,000 sheets.
In contrast, the Digimaster 9110 is said to print up to 110 pages per minute.
It accepts paperweights up to 200gsm and supports 17 paper formats, whilst users can additionally define up to eight special formats.
The standard 9110 system is equipped with three paper drawers for 4,000 sheets added Nexpress.
Emscher-Lippe chose to have two paper supply modules for a total capacity of 8,000 sheets.
Recycled paper is used exclusively in both systems.
Huther continued: "Thanks to the new systems, we've increased our output by 13 per cent and can reduce a two-shift operation by one hour.
The systems also have very stable operation and we have fewer paper jams than before." He added that the Bindomatic 301 DFS was complementary technology, producing perfect bindings of high quality and at a high rate of speed.
Bindings including a maximum of 120 pages (80gsm) are available in various thicknesses of 1.5mm, 3mm, 6mm, 9mm and 13mm and facilitate transparent front and back covers that are very durable and there is also the option of operating the binding system off-line.
"Word must be getting around the city offices, because we're receiving more and more enquiries.
We're very pleased with the performance and reliability of the Digimatser digital production systems, and so far the results have been quite positive," added Huther.
