Kodak Versamark Unveils Personalized Newspaper Publishing System with Hunkeler Finishing

According to Newspapers and Technology, Kodak Versamark will debut a personalized newspaper publishing system at Ifra Expo.

Kodak has been in development of the newspaper publishing system for over a year now. Hunkeler equipment will be used for the finishing. Oce uses Hunkeler equipment for it's Digital Newspaper Network solution, which offers short run same day publishing of foreign newspapers around the world.

In November 2004 Internet Webpages Newspaper performed a test on Kodak Versamark's VX5000 system. The result looked promising but the resolution of the inkjet on the supercalendered paper stock was only 320 dpi, which is more suitable for a newsprint stock.

Kodak also developed a higher resolution inkjet VX5000e, but it is not know if this system will be on display at Ifra.
