The KODAK NEXPRESS 2500 digital production color press offers a high level of modularity and flexibility. Customers can upgrade the press as they grow their businesses with options to select desired paper capacity, increase processing capability, and add delivery of spot color, watermarking and protective coating with the KODAK NEXPRESS fifth imaging unit solution.
