ROCHESTER, N.Y., – The KODAK NEXPRESS SX Digital Production Color Press was selected by Print21, an Australian and New Zealand online journal for the printing industries, as a recipient of a "Hot Picks" award at PrintEx11 in Australia. Print21 gives its "Hot Picks" award in recognition of the best and most innovative technology that's making a difference in the graphic arts industry.

"The KODAK NEXPRESS family of presses helps customers drive more jobs per shift and more profit per page, by consistently and reliably producing market-leading image quality from job to job and day to day," said Adrian Fleming, Managing Director, Kodak Australia. "The new NEXPRESS SX Platform innovations are also backwards compatible to NEXPRESS Presses all the way from 2006 to current models. This fully modular design allows for easy expansion as business needs evolve. Kodak's "upgrade rather than replace" strategy ensures that customers' investments in Kodak technology are long term and sustainable."
