Kodak is showcasing a variety of new inkjet technologies in the Kodak Quarter (Hall 5, Stand F09) at drupa 2016. Debuting at the show will be Kodak’s next generation inkjet technology platform, Kodak Ultastream Inkjet Technology .

Ultrastream is aimed at printers and prospects demanding a superior image quality to integrate into their application-based production systems. Printing at an exceptional quality of 600 x 1800dpi at speeds of up to 150 meters per minute (500 feet per minute) on the widest variety of paper and plastic substrates, it addresses even the most demanding applications including narrow-web labels, and packaging. Its modular printhead can be implemented in varying widths ranging from 8″ up to 97″.  It will also be available with Kodak’s Digital Front End (DFE), a dynamic and flexible solution to meet the demands of commercial printers as they implement production inkjet in their workflows.

At drupa 2016, Kodak is demonstrating the ULTRASTREAM technology in an 8″ configuration on a narrow web press for labelling and small format printing to showcase the high resolution output as a result of smaller ink drop sizes, superior drop placement and substrate interaction.

“Kodak’s Stream Technology offers a wealth of opportunities for all print, packaging or label print service providers with the Prosper 6000 for commercial printing, our new Ultrasyream technology that will move production inkjet into the mainstream of commercial printing and packaging, or new XGV for flexible films,” concludes Philip Cullimore, President of Kodak’s Enterprise Inkjet System Division. “Visitors to drupa should not miss the opportunity to see the result of Kodak’s investment in the development of this next-generation technology for themselves, and we look forward to continuing discussions with prospects and more potential OEM partners during the show.”
