Digitally Printed Packaging: Opportunity for Commercial Printers?

Hybrid Inkjet Already Well-Established

Don Burns, business development director at Kodak Digital Printing and Enterprise, reports that 14x36˝ is now the largest sheet size for the NexPress digital press. "With maximum thickness at 400 microns (16-pt.), we have commercial customers who do test packaging and very-short-run folding cartons." He adds that Kodak's hybrid inkjet systems have been used in labeling for more than 10 years. "Inkjet print heads can be mounted on any traditional press and make it a digital press."
