• KODAK PROSPER Presses & Imprinting Systems ‘Printing on Air’ – the Printing On Air Demo showcases KODAK Stream Inkjet Technology by using a light strobe to display the content as the drops travel through air – rather than being delivered to a paper or other substrate – with the images appearing similar to that of a flip book or video.

In addition to new product launches and legacy solution demonstrations, Kodak will demo an integration partnership at booth #1931 between the KODAK CREO IC-309 Server and the Konica Minolta bizhub C71hc press. Similarly, Kodak and Kruger, Inc. have partnered to bring the first true lightweight coated paper optimized for inkjet production to market.

Kodak will demonstrate the new connectivity between PRINERGY Workflow 7 and RICOH’s newly launched TotalFlow Print Server, which together will drive the RICOH PRO C Series of printers. Visit the RICOH booth #1231 to see this connectivity demonstration in action.  

As part of GRAPH EXPO, Kodak will also receive two InterTech™ Stars before an audience of industry leaders during the 2015 Printing Industries of America (PIA) Premier Print Awards Gala held on Sunday, Sept. 13.
