Kodak Debuts Kodak Prosper Plus 5 Imprinting System

Kodak has introduced its new Kodak Prosper Plus 5 Imprinting System. 

Kodak Prosper Plus Imprinting Systems were designed for integration into flexo, gravure and offset packaging presses and packaging converting machines such as folder gluers. The versatile imprinting solutions are suitable for corrugated, folding carton, label and flexible packaging applications.

Kodak’s Prosper Imprinting System portfolio features high image quality and high-speed solutions. The systems use KODAK Stream Continuous Inkjet Technology, which enables high speed and high ink coverage on glossy substrates thanks to precise, round drop placement.

Prosper Plus Systems offer speeds of up to 600 mpm (2,000 fpm) and produce image quality that is difficult to distinguish from traditional printing. 

Prosper printheads can be configured up to 12 across, creating a customized solution to fit the needs of a large variety of applications. 

Depending on the configuration, systems can include up to 12 print stations and 24 printheads and can be easily integrated into existing equipment using Kodak or third-party solutions. 

Printers can start with monochrome printing and later add spot and process colors as their business needs evolve.

The print width of the base configuration is 105 mm; CMYK color printing is enabled by cascading four of these inkjet modules. The systems are available in different speed and width versions, allowing the converter to customize the solution to fit their business needs.

Prosper Plus Imprinting Systems employ water-based pigment and dye-based Kodak EKTACOLOR Inks developed and manufactured by Kodak, which dry fast owing to their chemical composition.
