Live @ PacPrint 05 – Kodak is getting it all together
On hand to assist in the festivities, Kodak’s director of marketing and business development in the Asia Pacific region, Andre Boers (pictured right), was forthcoming about the company’s new direction. He insists that as soon as the Creo acquisition is complete, print providers will then have available to them a single destination for all of their graphic arts needs.
“In light of our acquisitions over the recent years, the GCG will form one face for the customer,” says Boers. “For digital presses we have NexPress, for wide format we have Encad, for digital ink-jet technology we have Versamark, and for the workflow and prepress side of things we will soon have Creo. These are complemented by Kodak’s existing range of film and plates.”
Kodak’s PacPrint stand is a huge display that brims over with examples of technology from all the company’s different arms, but the latest range of plates is what will draw the most interest from graphic arts operators.
Visitors can view a wide collection of thermal plates that includes the SWORD Ultra, a new solution designed to cut process time and energy use and offer 1-99% resolution at 250 LPI, with run lengths of over 150,000 impressions.
