Kodak has pulled a "hat trick" of honors, winning the German printing
industry's prestigious Innovation Award for the third year in a row.
Previously, the KODAK NEXPRESS Dimensional Printing System took the
award in 2009, while last year the KODAK TRILLIAN SP Thermal Plate in
the Prepress category and the KODAK
PROSPER 5000XL Press in the Printing category took Innovation Awards.
Now, in 2011, the KODAK
NEXPRESS SX Digital Production Color Platform, with the long sheet
option, has been honored with the ‘Most Innovative Technology' (Gold
Award) in the Printing category.
The latest award winner was chosen in an internet poll by readers of
Deutscher Drucker and Grafische Palette, two leading German trade
journals, and print.de, from a total of 30 technologies nominated by the
publications' editors.
"We're much honored to walk away with such a highly respected award for
the third consecutive year," said Mark Clark, Regional General Manager &
Vice President of Digital Printing Solutions for Kodak. "The accolade is
particularly satisfying as it was print professionals working on the
frontline that voted for us. It underlines Kodak's track record of
developing solutions that help print services providers overcome the
challenges they face in the graphic communications industry."
The NEXPRESS SX Platform offers superior print quality, excellent
substrate flexibility, and numerous in-line coating and printing
effects. The system helps print service providers across the world to
differentiate their offering and drive revenue by enabling them to
create unique, value-adding products.
New features of the NEXPRESS SX Platform include speeds of up to 131ppm,
a longer sheet size (26"/660 mm), smaller ink particle size with the new
KODAK NEXPRESS HD Dry Inks, new KODAK NEXPRESS Light Black HD Solution,
and a new matte printing option. For an overview of the Spencer Lab
