Print Solutions

Kodak caused a stir at Hunkeler Innovationdays 2025 in Lucerne, Switzerland, with a spectacular application printed on its Prosper 7000 Turbo Press.

The company demonstrated the speed of its web fed inkjet press, which was on show in Europe for the first time, by printing excerpts from the movie, ‘The Last Showgirl’ and two music videos, Kesha’s Joyride and AntsLive’s Captain Ants, which were all shot on Kodak film.

Leveraging its Turbo mode, the Prosper 7000 printed the movie sequences with water based Ektacolor inks at a speed of 410 metres per minute. When printing the images, the press achieved such a high frame rate that the movies were played back smoothly on the monitors of the press's quality monitoring system. The intriguing ‘cinema show on paper’ impressed the attendants and provided proof that the Prosper 7000 Turbo Press is an ideal solution for the highly productive printing of direct mail, commercial, transactional, and book printing jobs.

‘With this unique showcase we celebrate our heritage in film and our current breakthroughs in high speed inkjet technology,’ commented Jim Continenza, executive chairman and chief executive officer, Kodak. ‘This combination highlights our ongoing commitment to innovation and developing cutting edge technology that will revolutionise and advance the printing industry.’
