ROCHESTER, N.Y. - May 02, 2024 - Kodak is proud to have been named the winner of a Gold Stevie® Award in the Best Business Technology Pivot category in the 22nd Annual American Business Awards®. With the coveted award, Kodak is recognized for successfully shifting its digital printing business to focus on inkjet presses. This bold move has positioned Kodak to capitalize on the future growth of high-speed inkjet production printing.
Kodak's featured products in this technology pivot are the KODAK PROSPER ULTRA 520 Press powered by KODAK ULTRASTREAM Technology and the KODAK 7000 Turbo Press, the world’s fastest inkjet press. Both presses can deliver offset quality at production speeds and are suitable for a wide range of applications. They offer flexibility for printing on a wide range of substrates including uncoated and coated papers, standard offset papers, newsprint and recycled papers.
"We are delighted that our strategy to focus our digital printing business on our proprietary continuous inkjet technology has been honored with a prestigious Gold Stevie Award," commented Jim Continenza, Executive Chairman and CEO, Kodak. "We see this accolade as confirmation that we are on the right track. It also serves as an incentive to continue strengthening our inkjet portfolio so our customers can continue to benefit from the improving capabilities of inkjet."
