Kodak Announces Multiple Innovations From Software to Digital Press
Giving his overall assessment of testing KODAK PRINERGY On Demand Access in a production environment, Tomblinson says, "As an old prepress guy, this gives me goosebumps frankly."
Further announcements include a new water-based varnish that can be jetted as an area or spot coat to printed packages using KODAK PROSPER S-Series or KODAK PROSPER Plus Imprinting Systems. The eco-friendly PROSPER Digital Varnish can be applied in register with design elements and creates a matte protective layer providing rub and water resistance to paper-based packaging applications. In a written statement that accompanied the conference, Kodak noted that its PROSPER Digital Varnish helps printers eliminate the costs, effort, waste and environmental impact associated with traditional post-coating methods because it is applied only where needed and doesn’t require plate making for spot coating. The KODAK PROSPER Digital Varnish will be available worldwide by the end of 2021.
