Digital Printing Innovations Unveiled at ON DEMAND
On the workflow side, Canon rolled out the ImageWARE Prepress Manager (for job creation with variable data tools and JDF support) and Print Job Manager (for managing multiple jobs and devices) software packages
Kodak introduced a variation of the Canon imagePRESS C7000VP print engine as a new “entry-level” mid-volume solution. The NexPress M700, slated to ship next month, is for users producing 50,000 to 150,000 images per month. The company says its version has been built to Kodak specs, including incorporation of Operator Replaceable Components (OCRs). The M700 has a rated speed of 70 ppm (singled sided) and prints four colors at a maximum 1,200 dpi resolution. It was selected as On Demand’s Best of Show winner in the process color printing category.
