DRUPA 2004 -- Gearing Up for the Big Show

With its acquisition by Eastman Kodak Co. completed, the officially renamed Kodak Versamark (formerly Scitex Digital Printing) is focusing on what it is calling the "next generation of Business Color technology" for its V-series of continuous ink-jet presses.

The VX5000 system, set to be introduced at Drupa, boosts 300x1,200 dpi color printing at speeds of up to 325 fpm. Driving the system will be the new CS600 controller jointly developed with EFI. It enables full variable printing at the engine's rated speed, implements industry standards and supports ICC profiles.
