Kodak will highlight a live demonstration of the KODAK PROSPER 7000 Turbo Press at Hunkeler Innovationdays 2025 (February 24 to 27, Lucerne, Switzerland), booth P4 in hall 1. The show will be the PROSPER 7000 Turbo Press’s first appearance in Europe.
Kodak will showcase the PROSPER 7000 Turbo Press printing with water-based KODAK EKTACOLOR Inks in a roll-to-roll configuration with an unwinder and a rewinder designed and manufactured by Kodak. The PROSPER 7000 Turbo Press is the world’s fastest inkjet press, capable of printing at speeds of up to 410 mpm (1,345 fpm). Its three print modes — Turbo, Performance and Quality — enable printers to easily fine-tune optimal speed and quality balance for each job. These capabilities make the PROSPER 7000 Turbo Press an excellent solution for migrating larger direct mail, commercial, transactional, and book printing jobs from offset to digital.
During Hunkeler Innovationdays, Kodak will be printing various applications at blazing speeds on the PROSPER 7000 Turbo Press several times a day. Along with scheduled demos, printers can book individual demonstrations of the press through Kodak sales representatives.
Visitors to the Kodak booth will also have the opportunity to view a vast collection of print samples illustrating the high-quality output and the variety of applications that can be produced with the KODAK PROSPER ULTRA 520 Press, powered by KODAK ULTRASTREAM Technology, and the new KODAK PROSPER Print Bar, which incorporates KODAK PROSPER Plus Imprinting Systems.
Kodak, in cooperation with partners Horizon International and Hunkeler, will also demonstrate the efficient processing of paper rolls printed on PROSPER Presses into finished printed products. A saddle-stitched catalog will be produced on a Horizon iCE StitchLiner Mark V, and a Hunkeler paper processing line will handle a demanding direct mail application.
“We are excited to bring the PROSPER 7000 Turbo Press to Europe for the first time and to raise the bar in terms of speed and production efficiency at Hunkeler Innovationdays. This cutting-edge inkjet press helps printers transition from offset to digital production and profitably serve their customers,” commented Jim Continenza, executive chairman and chief executive officer, Kodak. “Our PROSPER Presses, using high-speed continuous inkjet technologies and proprietary KODACHROME and EKTACOLOR Inks and KODAK OPTIMAX Primers, help printers succeed in the ‘and’ era of print by providing ultra-productive, cost-effective printing of a wide range of applications.”
