MITIGATE RISKS
Risks are rising. Stretched paper supply chains, rising aluminum costs, tighter margins and ongoing labor challenges mean it’s vital to have a strategy for staying one step ahead of the competition. Decrease your reliance on plates by adding a digital press as a complement to your offset production.

HIGH SPEED PROVIDES UNMATCHED PRODUCTIVITY
500 feet per minute print speed in highest quality mode provides 12,950 B2 sheets per hour, 2x to 3x faster than the competition. Reduce labor costs and improve customer satisfaction without compromising quality.

OFFSET QUALITY FROM DIGITAL
Print quality that rivals 200 LPI offset with drop placement accuracy that exceeds other inkjet technologies. Patented KODAK Intelligent Print System constantly monitors and optimizes stitching, color-to-color and front-to-back registration.

HIGH RUN LENGTH = HIGHER PROFITS
Achieve higher run-length cross-over with offset thanks to Kodak’s economical ink. Drive more profit by growing higher value digital jobs.

EXCEPTIONAL EFFICIENCY
Next generation KODAK 900 Print Manager digital front end with state-of-the art ADOBE APPE 5 RIP and recallable job settings shortens time-intensive prepress operations. An optimized interface with KODAK PRINERGY Workflow maximizes production efficiency and data security.

HUMAN-FRIENDLY INKS
Kodak’s eco-friendly, water-based KODACHROME Inks are nanoparticulate pigment CMYK inks which contain minimal Volatile Organic Compounds and do not require a hazardous waste removal process. They’re also toy safe for children’s books and food safe for indirect contact in packaging applications.

WIDE-RANGING PAPER CHOICES
Print on inkjet-compatible substrates at full press speeds. These include industry standard uncoated, coated, and even glossy papers from 45-270 gsm on roll widths from 203 to 533 mm (8-21 inches). Standard offset papers can be run with an optional inline pre-coater from one of the numerous vendors now offering them.

SPACE SAVING
Compact and robust press design requires less space than some rival systems. KODAK ULTRASTREAM Technology imaging stations need only 5 print heads per color to print the 520 mm (20.5 in.) width.

UNMATCHED PRODUCTIVITY

Kodak offers a production eco system that delivers unmatched productivity.

An optimized interface with KODAK PRINERGY Workflow maximizes your production efficiency, data security, and uptime.

MANAGE YOUR RISK
With shorter runs, lower quantities, and reduced cycle times, you’ll be printing while your competitors are stuck on the starting block. Kodak Stream Inkjet Technology delivers huge savings on paper and ink usage compared to litho, enabling you to meet the quantities and deadlines your customers expect. And PROSPER’s streamlined press operation means fewer operators, offering big labor savings and enhanced productivity.

READY FOR SPEED
The PROSPER 7000 Turbo Press delivers industry-leading speeds nearly 35% faster than its nearest competitor at 410 mpm (1,345 fpm). The PROSPER 7000 Turbo Press has been specifically designed to handle high capacity runs at super-fast speeds with minimal downtime. No other inkjet press on the market can match it for all-out speed, meaning you hit deadline after deadline with ease.

MORE OPPORTUNITIES
With less time needed on press for each job, the PROSPER 7000 Turbo Press enables you to take on bigger, longer, more ambitious jobs than ever before. The press can handle commercial print, publishing, and newsprint all in one press. With the variable speeds and ink coverage capabilities, you can say yes to more business.

MAXIMIZE LABOR
With three optimized print modes - High Quality, Publishing and Turbo - the PROSPER 7000 Turbo Press allows you to fine-tune your production process to give the optimal combination of resolution and speed. Automated processes reduce the need for manual user input, allowing you to use your time – and your labor – more effectively.

REDUCE COSTS
The PROSPER 7000 Turbo Press delivers some of the lowest operational costs of any inkjet press on the market. In fact, the more you print, the more you save. Our proprietary ink formulations and interstation drying process allows inks to dry more rapidly, resulting in higher quality, more consistent print.

BLAZING SPEED
The PROSPER 7000 Turbo Press achieves speeds up to 5,523 A4 pages pages per minute, making it easy to deliver an average monthly print volume (AMPV) of over 200 million pages.

OPTIMAL PRINT QUALITY
Three print modes customize the press to achieve your desired result. Turbo mode is appropriate for quick turnarounds and jobs with lower ink coverage and resolution. Speed and quality for books and transactional work is achieved in Performance mode, while Quality mode delivers high-end results comparable to offset for photorealistic images.

IMAGE DETAIL
Maintain high-quality, accurate color over long runs, thanks to KODAK Intelligent Print System technology. The PROSPER 7000 Turbo Press achieves up to 200 LPI in High Quality mode with drop placement accuracy that exceeds other inkjet technologies.

LOWEST OPERATING COST
The PROSPER 7000 Press Turbo can improve your bottom line up to 20% with savings on press operations— including parts and service—that are lower than thermal inkjet presses. The press can deliver significant savings by optimizing consumption of ink and fluids compared to thermal inkjet devices.

A CHOICE OF WEB PATHS
Minimize press downtime by reducing potential substrate issues with the flexibility of multiple paper paths (depending on ink coverage and drying needs). Combined with its variable-speed capability, this greatly reduces paper waste – both during press setup and press stops.

CLEAN OPERATION
KODAK PROSPER Press Inks contain minimal VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). They are toy safe—making them a safe solution for children’s and educational books—and food safe, for indirect contact in packaging applications. No need for a hazardous waste removal process, either.

STREAM TECHNOLOGY
KODAK Stream Inkjet Technology's drop velocity is almost three times faster than drop-on-demand technologies. Drop placement, accuracy, and uniformity result in superior image quality.

PREDICTABLE, PRECISE DELIVERY OF INK TO PAPER
At the core of each press are precise rows of KODAK PROSPER Press Jetting Modules that deliver ink to the substrate with simplicity, speed and reliability. Stream Inkjet Technology produces a continuous flow of ink, enabling consistent operation, without the stops and starts that can hamper production on other inkjet devices. Ink is output with uniform dot size and accurate dot placement, regardless of coverage or substrate, even at very high speeds.

FAST, INTELLIGENT DRYING
PROSPER Presses have an intelligent inter-station drying architecture that uses near-infrared energy to dry inks immediately. This gives your work the high-value look, feel and bulk of offset that customers expect.

PROPRIETARY INKS THAT YIELD ACCURATE, DURABLE COLOR
The proprietary nanotechnology inks developed specifically for PROSPER Presses deliver exceptional vibrancy and color consistency. With a color gamut that approaches offset, PROSPER Presses achieve results that are equivalent to SWOP, SNAP, and GRACoL standards, so you can complement existing offset workflows and balance your workload.
