KODAK NEXPRESS Opaque White Dry Ink Eastman Kodak Company • Rochester, NY •

KODAK NEXPRESS Opaque White Dry Ink with Auto- White Blend functionality enables KODAK NEXPRESS presses to include white to a CMYK image by simply updating a job ticket. The job ticket uses a Kodak algorithm within the DeviceLink profile, which allows for ease of use. Once it’s updated, the software adds white ink to the CMYK image, placing different levels of white ink in such a manner that it appears to the eye that the white ink is placed first on the sheet. But the technology prints the white on the sheet last. By introducing white later during printing, the press uses less white ink, which saves both time and money while
also allowing printers to include white in more jobs. Users do not need to switch between normal paper substrate and special effect substrate or create a separate file if they use the Opaque White Dry Ink. Additionally, this product introduces white ink to the printed materials in an easy way that reduces the need for extra design or prepress efforts. Opaque White Dry Ink works on craft, pastel, metallic, and transparent stocks, allowing the production of impactful pieces at less cost.

Kodak’s Extended Sheet Length Eastman Kodak Company • Rochester, NY •
www.kodak.com
The KODAK NEXPRESS Press gives printers the ability to print on sheet lengths of up to one meter (39.37") with the optional external feeder which feeds directly into the paper path. The extended size makes it compatible with offset presses of the same size. The technology enables printers to provide prototyping, test/target marketing, and small batch production to complement jobs run on offset presses. This allows for a variety of short run conventional applications to be tackled in an economic way, such as pocket folders or marketing collateral with gate folds. Also, the system is designed to make
automatic adjustments on various press parameters for given substrate types, which allows for optimized registration and image quality. This reduces an operator’s need to have a hands-on role in many cases. The sheetfed process makes it easier to have quick turnarounds of small run lengths and switch substrates, providing much-needed flexibility.
