Press release from the issuing company
ROCHESTER, N.Y., – At Graph Expo 2011, KODAK Technology is featured in more than a dozen booths throughout the show. These offerings, from workflow automation to print finishing solutions, are used to create a range of innovative applications and help leaders in the graphic communications industry better meet the demands of their customers.
Print pieces created using Digital Printing Solutions from Kodak will be transformed into finished products at this year's show. The demonstrations, which use pre-printed rolls created by the KODAK PROSPER 5000 XL Press, KODAK VERSAMARK 300W Printing System and the KODAK NEXPRESS SE3000 Digital Production Color Press, will take place at the Muller Martini (#845), Lasermax Roll Systems (#221) and Standard Finishing (#617) booths.
Muller Martini will use its PRIMERA Digital Saddle-Stitching system to transform digitally preprinted rolls from the KODAK PROSPER 5000 XL into a variety of saddle-stitched products and samples. The PRIMERA System can accommodate digital print pieces and conventional applications. PRIMERA uses a barcode intelligence system that allows it to run various jobs consecutively without any make-ready and with optimal book integrity.
Standard Finishing is also using preprinted KODAK PROSPER Press rolls and is premiering the STANDARD HUNKELER PF7 Plow-fold Module. The book How Digital Photography Works will be constructed at Graph Expo with its contents printed on the PROSPER 5000XL Press and the covers printed on the KODAK NEXPRESS SE3000 Press. When combined with the PF7 and other Standard Finishing applications, the PROSPER Press delivers a complete files-to-books system.
Completing the showcase of Kodak's finishing partners and end-to-end solutions for direct mail, books and booklets is Lasermax Roll Systems. Inside Lasermax's booth, a LASERMAX ROLL SYSTEMS STACK 2230 System will run a transpromotional application on a roll that was preprinted on a KODAK VERSAMARK 300W Printing System, creating a direct mail coupon and transactional print piece with remittance perforation.
For workflow customers, KODAK PRINERGY Workflow will be on display at the Konica Minolta (#2227), Ricoh (#2600), xpedx (#3601) and EFI (#2000) booths. KODAK Workflows, which include Rules Based Automation (RBA) and Online Print Solutions (OPS) give partners greater automation and efficiency.

Ricoh will demonstrate the integration and flexible connectivity between the RICOH C901 Color Printer, the Color Controller C-81, powered by CREO Color Server Technology and the KODAK PRINERGY Workflow.

xpedx, an Authorized Reseller of KODAK Prepress and Unified Workflow Solutions in the United States, will be demonstrating KODAK Web-to-Print Solutions, including KODAK PRINERGY Workflow with Rules Based Automation (RBA) and Online Print Solutions (OPS).
