Kodak will exhibit its latest technology for the high speed digital production printing and the integral management of the workflow in Hunkeler Innovation Days 2023 to be held from February 27 to March 2 in Lucerne, Switzerland.
La Kodak Prosper Ultra 520 Press will be a highlight at Kodak's booth P5 in Hall 2. The recently launched inkjet web press will be on display for the first time in Europe. Taking full advantage of KODAK ULTRASTREAM Continuous Inkjet Technology, PROSPER ULTRA 520 delivers offset print quality at high speeds, great application flexibility, and enables printers to profitably switch more jobs from traditional to digital offset.
Kodak will present a roll-to-roll configuration where the Prosper Ultra 520 is integrated with a Hunkeler UW8 unwinder and RW8 rewinder together with the Hunkeler WI8 web inspection system through its open architecture interface. The press will print three versions of a 'magalog' (mix of magazine and catalogue) live with different editorial and marketing content. The demanding application features large, high-resolution images and an attractive design that takes advantage of the Prosper Ultra 520 press's ability to print high ink coverage on standard offset paper at 150 mpm (500 fpm).
Showgoers can also expect to see a wide collection of finished applications printed on the Prosper Ultra 520 press, as well as the Prosper 7000 Turbo press, the digital press with speeds up to 1345 fpm (410 mpm). The range of samples on display will include trade publications, color books, newspapers, catalogues, postcards and direct mail.
