Kodak focuses on innovative approaches for helping print providers grow their businesses and improve productivity at booth 1515 at the 2007 AIIM/On Demand Conference and Exposition.
“Kodak will show the latest digital print and document imaging technologies at AIIM/On Demand,” said Kevin Joyce, Managing Director, United States and Canada, Kodak’s Graphic Communications Group. “We’re also using innovation to help our customers with new marketing programs and business strategies to increase revenue and grow their businesses. More than showing speeds and feeds, we’ll be engaging attendees in discussions about how Kodak can help them be even more successful.”
Kodak’s booth at AIIM/On Demand will feature a combination of educational presentations, new product introductions, and proven solutions in digital printing, workflow and document imaging.
Kodak kicks off AIIM/On Demand by expanding the Kodak Nexpress platform of color presses by adding two new Kodak Nexpress Digital Color Presses, the latest version of the Kodak Nexstation Front End, and a new roll feeder option. There are now five digital color presses with varying specifications on the Nexpress platform, with each driven by the common, scaleable Nexstation front end.
Other Kodak solutions announced at AIIM/On Demand include:
The Kodak s1220 Photo Scanning System allows consumers to turn a shoebox of photos into custom CDs, DVDs, or online uploads for use in creating other photographic and digital imaging products. Users feed black and white and color prints for batch scanning and the s1220 system captures the photos and performs simple enhancements such as sharpening or red eye reduction. Aimed at retail countertop services, the solution provides fast 30 picture per minute scans and requires little counter space.
The Kodak i1840 Scanner captures images at up to 160 pages per minute and offers a variety of ergonomic features including a user height adjustable base to maximize productivity while either sitting or standing. The i1840 scanner is ideal for paper-intensive environments such as service bureaus and insurance companies that centrally process claims or financial institutions that handle volumes of transactions such as loan and mortgage transactions with a wide variety of document types, colors, weights and demanding duty cycles.
The new Kodak Insite Storefront System makes it easy for print providers to move their businesses online, offer new services and grow revenues. Kodak Web-to-print Solutions give printers the tools they need to offer electronic ordering, commerce and tracking, connectivity to their digital printing systems, templates that customers can use to create customized variable data print applications, and a range of other online capabilities.
The Kodak Prinergy Workflow System version 4 launches at AIIM/On Demand with a new easy to use dashboard feature that enables customer service representatives, production planners, and supervisors to view job information and real time status as they work. Prinergy System version 4 also offers support for transparencies, digital print automation to expand into the Kodak Web-to-print Solution, and new digital job notes and custom fields.
