DRIVE HIGH VALUE OPPORTUNITIES WITHOFFSET-CLASS OUTPUTEach job printed on a Prosper Press benefits from Kodak’s revolutionary StreamInkjet Technology—the proprietary, continuous inkjet solution that producesconsistent, vibrant images day after day. Now you can handle image-rich, highcoverage jobs with confidence, knowing that Kodak Prosper Press output isdurable enough to withstand frequent handling—with quality impressive enoughto please even the most demanding client. This stunning quality is made possiblethrough a combination of unique system elements available only from Kodak.Predictable, precisedelivery of ink to paperProprietary inks that yieldaccurate, durable colorAt the core of each press are preciserows of Kodak Prosper Press JettingModules that deliver ink to thesubstrate with simplicity, speed andreliability. Stream Inkjet Technologyproduces a continuous flow of ink,enabling constant—and consistent—operation, without the stops andstarts that can hamper production onother inkjet devices. Ink is output withuniform dot size and accurate dotplacement, regardless of coverage orsubstrate, even at very high speeds.The proprietary nanotechnology inksdeveloped specifically for KodakProsper Presses deliver exceptionalvibrancy and color consistency.Best of all, Kodak Prosper JettingModules deliver reliably for millionsof pages without adjustment—evenwhen used in the most demandingproduction environments.With a color gamut that approachesoffset, Prosper Presses achieve resultsthat are equivalent to SWOP, SNAP,and GRACoL standards, so you cancomplement existing offset workflowsand balance your workload.Polymeric dispersants integrated into theinks enhance image permanence, waterresistance, and reliability, so printedoutput maintains its crisp appearancethroughout finishing, automated mailhandling and everyday use.Kodak’s nanotechnology inksare designed to work as anintegral part of your entireprinting system.Kodak’s Stream Inkjet Technology resultsin minimal wear on continuous-flow jettingmodules.
KODAK’S STREAMINKJET TECHNOLOGY—DEPENDABLE HIGHQUALITY AT MUCHHIGHER SPEEDSSelf-monitoring,automated color withIntelligent Print SystemThe Kodak Prosper 6000 Pressesfeature in-line image healthmonitoring and advanced softwarecontrols that enable them to makeclosed-loop adjustments to refine andimprove output quality. The result isprecise registration and outstandingimage quality.Throughout the run—at fullpress speeds—key metrics suchas press efficiency, imagingperformance, and registrationvariations, are automaticallytracked and reassessed. Anyneeded adjustments are madewithout interruption or operatorinvolvement.More substrate optionsA broad range of commerciallyavailable inkjet-compatible substratescan be run on Prosper Presses at fullpress speeds. These include industrystandard uncoated, coated, and evenglossy papers from 42-270 gsm on rollwidths from 8 to 25.5 inches (20.3–64.8 cm).The Kodak Prosper Image OptimizerStation prepares commerciallyavailable substrates for inkjet printing,enabling you to pre-treat and runindustry-standard uncoated, coated,and even glossy papers.The Kodak Prosper IOS OfflineCoating Solution uses a prestagedprocess to prepare commerciallyavailable substrates for inkjet printing,optimizing performance of inkjettreated papers on the Prosper 1000Plus and Prosper 6000 Presses.Fast, intelligent dryingProsper Presses have an intelligentinter-station drying architecture thatuses near-infrared energy to dry inksimmediately.This gives your work thehigh-value look, feel and bulk of offsetthat customers expect.The system also adjusts for ink load,web speed and substrate, deliveringconsistently high-quality prints withoutsacrificing productivity, even on glosscoated papers—something other inkjettechnologies just can’t achieve. Pressure forces continuous streams ofink out of precisely spaced, uniformnozzles. Each stream is broken into highlyuniform droplets. D roplets land on the substrate inextremely accurate rows; those notneeded are diverted and recirculated.Stream Inkjet Technology isstraightforward and elegant in the way iteliminates the components that are mostprone to mechanical failure and errorsin other manufacturers’ systems.There is minimal wear on the continuousflow jetting modules from higher pressspeeds, longer print runs, or extendeduse of color.As a result, Kodak Prosper Pressesproduce dramatically higher quality andproductivity at a low overall cost.Stream Inkjet Technology improves imagequality by using extremely efficient dropselection by air deflection.
LEVERAGE NEXT-GENERATIONPRINTING SYSTEMS FOR TODAY’S MOSTDEM ANDING APPLICATIONSKodak Prosper Presses have been built to handle the full range of today’s printapplications while meeting the business goals of newspaper and book publishers,commercial printers, and direct mail services. From the Prosper 1000 Press tothe top-of-the-line Prosper 6000C and 6000P Presses, Kodak’s productioninkjet printing presses deliver cost efficiency and a greater return on marketinginvestment.Book manufacturing and publishersThe book printing and publishing industry is being greatly impacted by emergingdigital print technologies. Although offset-printed books may be declining in volume,there is opportunity for growth in digitally printed volumes. More and more bookprinters are seeking ways to quickly and profitably produce shorter runs. This can bedone through print-on-demand, which reduces inventory costs and allows printers toprint shorter runs on a just-in-time basis to meet specific orders.High-speed production inkjet presses offer the benefit of virtually no makeready, very high throughput, durability, and output in both monochromeand color. The Kodak Prosper 6000P Press makes it feasible andeconomical to print up to 200-lpi quality books at production runlengths of up to 3,000 copies. In addition to producing millions ofoffset-like pages month after month, the Prosper 6000P Press lowerscosts associated with obsolescence and warehousing.
BenefitsStreamline order-to-cash processesFor printers, this means reducing paper stocks and inventory of otherconsumables. It means greater flexibility on production deadlines—and fasterorder-to-cash with automated inventory replenishment. For publishers, itmeans shorter book runs, reduced time to market, reduction in warehousing,and more automated supply chain replenishment.Cost efficiencyThe Prosper 1000 Plus Press is simply more cost-effective for monochromeapplications than offset methods. It eliminates cost items like plates and prepressand reduces make-ready time and waste for short runs. Printers can streamlineproduction, respond more quickly to incoming orders, and reduce overage costallocations. At the same time, book publishers benefit from significantly reducedcosts for obsolescence and returns, warehousing and distribution.Business growth opportunitiesWith a Prosper 6000P Press, book printers can offer a wider array of colorservices and products to publishing customers, and diversify to include variabledata and versioned books. From a profit perspective, the real opportunity isproducing publications of up to 3,000 copies (e.g., of a 320-page book), upto which the total cost of ownership (TCO) is less than that of offset printing.In addition, shifting to an all-digital workflow helps maximize supply chainefficiency.With a Prosper 6000P Press, handling book production, publishers gain the abilityto customize and differentiate their offerings. They can bring more titles with shorterlead times to market, and benefit from a far more efficient supply chain.
Commercial printers and direct mailersLooking for better response rates for your mailings – or those of your clients?Want to produce high-gloss targeted direct mail pieces for 30% less than usingelectrophotographic (toner-based) systems? If you’re a commercial printer ordirect mail house, Kodak Prosper Presses, such as the Prosper 6000C, delivergreater return on your marketing investment, as well as improved efficiency andprofitability for production runs of up to one million high-quality mail pieces.BenefitsImproved return on marketing investmentFor advertisers, marketing firms and printspecifiers, using a Prosper Press cansignificantly increase response rates andcampaign effectiveness. A greater number ofmailer versions can be produced and broughtto market faster. With powerful variable datacapabilities, Prosper Presses also enableintegrated multi-channel campaigns usinginnovative marketing methods such as PURLs,QR codes and augmented reality (AR).Every piececan be personalizedfor a market of one.Prosper Presses allow printers to leveragevalue-added selling based on the measurablemarketing effectiveness of a campaign. Theyalso make it possible to differentiate through datamanagement, analytics and response-tracking services,and improve margins by creating a solution-based servicemodel as compared to a print-only service model.Lower costs for versioned and fully customized mailersFor advertisers, marketing firms and print specifiers, Prosper Presses can reducethe cost of print procurement for customized and personalized campaigns, andallow more efficient use of campaign dollars relative to expected returns. PrintService Providers can reduce production costs by almost 30% compared toelectrophotographic printing methods, have a more efficient supply chain, andgenerate higher margins thanks to savings in consumables, paper and labor costs.
Newspaper Publishers and PrintersIn today’s ever-changing media landscape, newspaper printers and publishers need to driveinnovation and leverage technology to gain a competitive advantage. Kodak ProsperPresses, such as the Prosper 6000P, make it possible to reach new audiencesmore efficiently, while streamlining print runs and adapting print editions totarget different readers.BenefitsGain access to remote marketsFor newspaper publishers, faster production enabledby digital technology means earlier publication availability,avoiding expedited delivery. Digitally printed newspapers are thesame size as offset versions and have the same look and feel, offering a highquality appearance that is readily accepted by advertisers and readers.For printers, Kodak Prosper Presses allow multiple newspaper titles to beproduced in very short runs. The right number of newspaper editions neededfor each delivery vehicle can be produced with sufficiently high productivity formedium-sized markets: 15–20,000 newspapers.Print short-run sections for regional newspapersThe production efficiency of Kodak Prosper Presses makes it possible for publishers to retain “citysections” where circulations have decreased below minimum offset requirements. They can alsoretain readership in low circulation cities or towns within a region, as well as retain advertisers inthose same locations.Printers can replace aging offset presses with more flexible inkjet presses while maintaining theiroverall product mix. They can also implement mixed-mode production, i.e. offset and inkjet sectionsinserted in one another.Print micro-zone sections for metropolitan newspapersFor publishers, this means more focused geographical targeting in a cost-effective way. That makesit possible to capture a share of advertising budgets from weekly community newspapers, as well asfacilitate expanded citizen journalism.For printing businesses, low-page-count sections can be printed in reasonable volumes along withmixed-mode production – offset and inkjet sections combined. From a profit perspective, the realopportunity is producing publications of up to 2,000 pages, up to which point the total cost ofownership (TCO) is less than that of offset printing. In addition, digital newspaper production savesmoney by reducing supply chain and logistics costs associated with delivery to remote destinations.
