Kodak Introduces Nexpress with Print Genius Suite #ipex

Connectivity for the Nexpress Press photo applications provides enhanced services for both consumer and professional applications, and Kodak has connection to fulfillers around the globe who have Kodak Nexpress Digital Production Presses, and who are leveraging Kodak’s Photo Website Hosting and Desktop Premium Product software. They can now generate highly profitable photobooks, greeting cards, personalized postcards, calendars and other merchandise with standard and Kodak Nexpress Intelligent Dimensional Coating Solution and Glossing pages combined. The dimensional pages offer Nexpress Press owners the opportunity to generate additional revenue at higher margins than typical printed pages.

Professional photo labs entering or expanding their photo merchandising business will benefit from improved connectivity between Kodak Professional Digital Print Production Software and Nexpress Presses. Output to a Nexpress Press from DP2 provides an automated workflow with job ticketing and queue management for producing a wide range of professional photobooks and other products, which again can be further enhanced with KODAK NEXPRESS Dimensional Clear Dry Ink. Third-party photo merchandise creation software tools will also enable users to output to a Nexpress Press from enterprise desktop applications. This capability enables businesses to produce photo merchandise directly from a standard industry file format, such as Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF).

“Kodak’s customers can immediately use these technologies to increase opportunities for their businesses,” said Phil Faraci, President and Chief Operating Officer, Eastman Kodak Company. “The rise in popularity of digital photos represents a significant segment where printers can drive growth through services aimed at helping consumers preserve photos for generations, with high-quality printing such as personalized photobooks and calendars. Because of Kodak’s broad portfolio of imaging and printing solutions, we are ideally suited to facilitate that connection between capture and output.”
