It aims to provide the quality and versatility of the ColorStream 3000 Series range with a modified design to suit a smaller environment not normally suitable for high-volume inkjet installations. The range comprises four systems, ranging from 157 to 417 feet per minute (fpm), for an equivalent productivity of 344 to 1,818 pages per minute (ppm), while using approximately 30 percent less floor space. HP From HP comes the HP Indigo WS6800 Digital Press, the third generation of the HP Indigo WS6000 Digital Press series.

The “Printing on Air Demo” showcased its Stream Inkjet Technology by using a light strobe to display the content as the drops travel through air—rather than being delivered to a paper or other substrate— with the images appearing similar to that of a flip book or video. In addition to new product launches and legacy solution demonstrations, Kodak demonwhich time spent preparing color profiles and Pantone color matching by up to 75 percent, the OEM reported. Using closed-loop control, the spectrophotometer eliminates the need for manual color calibrations and adjustments. An expanded frame width, increased from 317 mm to 320 mm, allows for higher press output and reduced costs. In addition, label converters can produce up to 131 linear feet per minute in color using Enhanced Productivity Mode. strated an integration partnership between the Kodak Creo IC-309 Server and the Konica Minolta bizhub C71hc press. Similarly, Kodak and Kruger, Inc. have partnered to bring the first true lightweight coated paper optimized for inkjet production to market.
