Kodak updates Nexpress front end

Kodak has released its System 15.1 software for the Nexpress VII front end. This gains three new print modes: Economy, halftone screen designed to use significantly less ink and also increase the lifespan of the operator replaceable components; Ink Optimisation, which saves on the CMY inks by using black wherever possible and should also give greater colour consistency; SmartRGB, which improves skin tones by removing grain.

The front end now comes in two configurations. There’s an Ultra Performance version, with 64GB of RAM so the press is never waiting for files, reducing JPEG compression errors while still keeping fine details, which is aimed at photo-rich and high variable data content applications like direct mail and transactional printing. The High Performance version has 32GB of RAM and is best suited for supporting standard commercial digital print applications.

The DFE update comes alongside the introduction of the Long sheet delivery unit, which allows for sheets up to 355 x 406mm.

You can license the articles from Printing and Manufacturing Journal to reproduce in other publications. I generally charge around £150 per article but I’m open to discussing this for each title, particularly for publishers that want to use multiple stories. I can provide high res versions of images for print publications.

I’m used to working with overseas publishers and am registered for VAT with the UK’s HMRC tax authority but obviously won’t charge VAT to companies outside the UK. You can find further details and a licensing form from this page, or just contact me directly here.

However, there are costs involved in travelling to cover events, as well as maintaining this site, not to mention the time that it takes to carry out research, check facts and interview people. So if you value this work, then please help to maintain it and keep it free to read.
