The KODAK NEXPRESS Platform

With over 40 years of experience in electrophotographic technology, Kodak has ventured into the additive manufacturing. Last year, the companylaunched itsfirst desktop 3D printer, Portrait, for the professional creative market.

Kodak Nexpress Digital Production Color Press设计用于短期包装,例如标签,标签和小型折叠纸箱,以及商业和出版产品。As a result of this partnership, Evolve will be utilizing a Kodak-developed toner manufacturing process to make the part toners for the Evolve system.
