The awards, from Printing Industries of America, went to the Kodak Dimensional printing system, a digital print technology that creates raised, or 3D, text and images, and Kodak Prinergy digital workflow, a software solution for digital presses.
Chris Payne, director and vice president, business to business marketing at Kodak, says, “Kodak Solutions such as Dimensional printing and Prinergy digital workflow help customers differentiate their businesses in the marketplace, increase production efficiencies, and improve return on marketing investment for their clients. These awards reflect Kodak’s ongoing commitment to deliver innovative solutions that help our customers grow their businesses.” Kodak now holds a total of 24 InterTech Technology Awards for solutions for commercial, data, publishing, and packaging printers.
Kodak claims its Dimensional printing system is the only cut sheet inline digital, tactile printing system on the market. Tony Harvey, Kodak marketing and channel manager for Australia New Zealand, says, “Dimensional Printing is well suited for a variety of markets, including commercial printing and photo products, and can be used for a variety of applications including direct mail, marketing collateral, promotional materials, greeting cards, business cards, invitations, certificates and photo books.”
He adds that the Prinergy digital workflow is designed specifically for the needs of digital printing workflows, such as higher job volumes, variable data printing, and short production runs. He says, “It connects to a wide range of digital presses on the market.”
