New Name, Offering

At its first major exhibit since being acquired by Eastman Kodak, Kodak Versamark (formerly Scitex Digital Printing) is targeting Drupa 2004 in May for the official launch of a page-wide (8.97˝) color system offering 300x1,200 dpi resolution and a maximum print speed of 1,500 fpm (monochrome at 300x300 dpi). With this "Next Generation" continuous ink-jet technology, the company is moving from a 44 pl (picoleter) drop size to 15 pl. It also reportedly is considering a six-color configuration.
