The mega show is almost upon us. Here’s a glimpse of what to expect.

Stream is an implementation of micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) technology and encompasses the drop delivery system, ink and media. It offers precise drop control, uses pigment inks and is capable of 2,500 ppm (letter-sized) speeds. Kodak says the technology is very scalable, so even though it currently is projecting the color press version not to be available until 2010, other Stream-based products will be available for sale in Germany. The company will also be introducing a new model in its drop-on-demand line, the Versamark VL2000, which outputs 1,090 ipm with a 600 dpi resolution.
