(Weymouth, MA) September 16, 2009 . . . Kodak and Océ have recently announced some dynamic new products that represent exciting developments for the production printing market. InfoTrends has released three reports detailing these announcements: Kodak has announced a new platform for its next generation of NexPress products. Called SE, the platform offers improved quality and productivity through three new developments: a quality improvement process called the Intelligent Calibration System (ICS), quality and uptime improvements through next generation consumables and image development, and an advanced front-end using Adobe’s PDF Print Engine 2. The new offerings based on the SE platform are called the NexPress SE2500, the NexPress SE3000, and the top-of-the-line 120 ipm NexPress SE3600. At an analyst event in Dayton, Ohio in July 2009, Kodak announced its second implementation of its Stream inkjet printhead technology. Following in the footsteps of the Prosper S10 Imprinting System, the new Prosper Color XL Press is a continuous-feed, process color inkjet printer capable of printing at speeds of up to 650 feet per minute on a 25.5-inch wide web. The device has a duty cycle of 120 million A4/letter impressions per month. It will be available for installs in the first half of 2010. In addition, Océ has extended its monochrome VarioPrint 6000 series into a new, faster, and speed-upgradable product family called Ultra. The top-of-the-line VarioPrint 6320 Ultra offers duplex throughput of 313 A4/306 letter images per minute. It has a U.S. list price of $375,000 and will ship in January 2010. The previous VarioPrint 6000 models are upgradable to Ultra functionality and will benefit from its new features. Also of particular interest is a new Océ program called SpeedPass that allows a VarioPrint 6000 Ultra user to upgrade speed temporarily when high volume is required. The above referenced reports offer further details on these intriguing announcements.
