Paper is a critical part of the printing process and at Ipex, Kodak will unveil its comprehensive strategy for the Prosper Press Platform. The plan encompasses development partnerships with world-leading paper mills to produce paper optimized for inkjet printing; an in-line paper pre-treatment module for the Prosper Press to allow the use of offset and existing inkjet paper stocks; and a paper certification program to help printers confidently and reliably select appropriate paper stocks for various applications.
