There's a lot of talk in the industry about inkjet presses and how their design and technology affect speed and image quality. What’s often overlooked is that inks also have a huge impact on performance. The properties of the inks are a decisive factor for the versatility, productivity, color quality and cost-effectiveness of an inkjet press.

Interview with Randy Vandagriff, Senior VP of Print, Kodak, on why the KODAK PROSPER ULTRA 520 Press is the right solution for the challenges facing the printing industry today.

High-speed inkjet is considered a technology that can drive print's transformation from traditional analog processes – notably offset – to digital production, even far beyond short-run production. There is currently no other press on the market to which the term high-speed inkjet applies as much as the KODAK PROSPER 7000 Turbo Press. With printing speeds of up to 410 mpm (1,345 fpm), it is the world's fastest web-fed inkjet press for CMYK production printing.
