The winners were chosen in an Internet poll by readers of Deutscher Drucker and Grafische Palette, two German trade journals, and print.de, from a total of 30 technologies nominated by the publications’ editors. This latest award marks a hat trick of honors for Kodak. In 2009, the company won an Innovation Award for its unique Kodak Nexpress Dimensional Printing System, and last year Kodak walked away with two Innovation Awards—the first for its Kodak Trillian SP Thermal Plate in the Prepress category and the second for itsKodak prosper 5000XL Press in the Printing category.
This year’s awards ceremony was held on Nov. 10 at the PrintNight gala in Stuttgart, which was attended by hundreds of guests from the graphic communications world. "We’re very honored to walk away with such a highly respected award for the third consecutive year,” said Mark Clark, Regional General Manager & Vice President Digital Printing Solutions EAMER, Kodak. “The accolade is particularly satisfying because it was print professionals working on the frontline who voted for us. It underlines Kodak’s track record of developing solutions that help print services providers overcome the challenges they face in the graphic communications industry.”
