Kodak Executives will take an active role in educating
professionals and discussing the latest trends impacting the
printing industry at the Printing Industries of America's
Offset & Beyond
Conference, held June 4-6 in St.
Louis.
"The Offset & Beyond Conference is a tremendous
learning opportunity for print providers, and Kodak is proud
to both participate in and sponsor the event," said Kodak's
Jerry Miller, Vice President and Regional General Manager,
Digital Print Solutions. "The conference will address many of
the largest opportunities in the industry and deliver
actionable information that attendees can use to make a
direct impact on their businesses."
Kodak executives are participating in two
sessions.
Eric Wilson, Kodak's Product Marketing Manager
for Inkjet Printing Solutions is participating in a session
titled "The Technology of Inkjet - Categories of Inkjet
Presses, Paper, Ink, Workflow, and More." Wilson will be
joined by Jamie Dolpies, Product Manager, EFI, Inc., and the
session facilitator, Dr. Mark Bohan, Vice President,
Technology and Research, Printing Industries of America. The
discussion will analyze the offerings from manufacturers of
presses and components and identify successful integration
that can be achieved by adding inkjet to an offset press
environment, including workflow and shop floor
considerations. Attendees will also learn the advantages of
online versus near-line configurations and understand the
role and potential for hybrid printing, including placement
of binders, cutters, feeders, coaters and auxiliary options.
With
KODAK PROSPER S-Series Imprinting Systems,
print providers are able to leverage their capital
investments in offset presses and bridge the gap to digital
in a one-step, inline or near-line process. More than 400
PROSPER S-Series Imprinting Systems have been installed on
six continents over the past three years. The PROSPER
S-Series Imprinting Systems include the S5, S5 with CMYK,
S10, S10 with CMYK, S20 and S30. Each solution produces
laser-like quality for imprinting at a range of speeds and
resolutions, bringing high-quality personalization to offset
print jobs.
Kodak's second session will feature Karen
Mitchell, Kodak's Director of Worldwide Publishing Segment,
who will participate on a panel called "Standards and G7 in
Action." The panel will explain how to produce consistent,
accurate color in a cost-efficient manner. Session attendees
will see how the G7 standard is affecting the digital arena
and how it is applied. The panel will also discuss the
process of becoming G7 certified and the benefits of the
certification.
"It is crucial to meet customers' color accuracy
expectations, and the G7 standard makes 'proof-to-press
matching' a reality," said Mitchell. "An essential step in
closing the color match gap has been the simulation of paper
stocks. Proofing devices and software have come a long way
toward helping printers achieve accurate colors across
substrates and press platforms."
