IPEX 2006 — EYEING THE LATEST PRODUCTS

All of the current pieces of Kodak’s Graphic Communications Group (GCG) were in place by PRINT 05, but IPEX 2006 still is somewhat of a coming-out party for the now more unified restructured organization.

The show will mark the global launch of the Kodak Magnus 800 platesetter, which is being positioned as the “top of the line” in its eight-page thermal product family. A range of systems, all featuring SQUAREspot imaging technology, are being offered with productivity ratings from 15 to 40 plates per hour. Three-point registration to ensure imaging accuracy is standard, and the configuration offered initially will be a fully automatic model.
