Kodak honored with two awards in graphic communications

“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,” said Chris Payne, Director and Vice President, Business to Business Marketing, Kodak. “These awards reflect Kodak’s ongoing commitment to deliver innovative solutions that help our customers grow their businesses.”

The Kodak Dimensional Printing System is the only cut sheet inline digital, tactile printing system on the market. Available as part of the Kodak Nexpress Fifth Imaging Unit Solutions, Dimensional Printing gives specified text and images a raised or 3D effect that can help communications stand out in a crowded marketplace. The result is a printed piece with a dimensional feel that mimics the surface of the items in the image. The Kodak Nexpress Intelligent Dimensional Coating Solution and Kodak Nexpress Dimensional Clear Dry Ink combine to create the Dimensional Printing effects. 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.

In his nomination letter for Dimensional Printing, Tony Seaman, Director, The University of Mississippi Publishing Center, lauded the impact Dimensional Printing has had on its business. The university hosted the first 2008 Presidential Debate and used Dimensional Printing to create a raised presidential seal and other elements for the invitations, pocket folders, and sponsor programs.

“We’ve seen an overall growth in our digital printing volume, and we believe the Kodak Dimensional Printing System is certainly contributing to this growth,” said Seaman. “It is opening doors and helping grow our volumes by establishing us as an innovative and dependable partner to our clients. It gives us a competitive advantage and helps us deliver much more than a standard digital print job.”

Prinergy Digital Workflow is designed specifically for the needs and requirements of digital printing workflows, such as higher job volumes, variable data printing, and short production runs. It connects to a wide range of digital presses on the market.
