With new innovations
in transport, drying,
and writing systems,
combined with advanced press
management technology, the
Kodak PROSPER 6000 presses

print speed and application
flexibility. These enhancements
will empower customers in the

print businesses as well as print
service providers of data-driven

The PROSPER 6000 presses
are powered by an advanced
Intelligent Print System (IPS)
that continuously monitors,
evaluates and adjusts operations
to ensure exceptional quality
output. With the improved IPS,
the PROSPER 6000 presses
can monitor and instantly
correct colour registration,
delivering enhanced registration
performance. The 6000
press’s writing system runs
on Kodak’s newly formulated
nanotechnology inks, offering
a greater colour gamut and
delivering print quality that
rivals offset output on a wide
range of uncoated, coated, and
glossy papers.
The PROSPER 6000 presses
will be made available in two
models: KODAK PROSPER
6000C press (ideal for
commercial print applications
requiring high-ink laydowns)
and KODAK PROSPER 6000P
press (designed specifically
for publishing applications
such as newspapers and books
which typically use light weight
paper and low to medium-ink
laydowns).
Both PROSPER 6000 presses
print at speeds of up to 1,000
feet, or 300 meters, per minute
on matted and uncoated papers
with a duty cycle of 90 million
A4 top quality pages per month.
An enhanced drying capability
allows heavy-weight glossy and
silk stock to be printed on the
PROSPER 6000C press at 650
feet, or 200 meters, per minute.
What’s more? The PROSPER
6000 presses produce saleable
prints at a low cost per page;
approaching $0.005/A4 in colour
consumable costs. The 6000
presses provide customers with
long inkjet head life, high
operational uptime, and fast job
set-up and make-ready time,
helping them save both time
and money.
Next-generation printing…
for different segments
In today’s printing environment,
businesses are investing in
technologies that lay the
foundation for future success.
In book printing, printers are
looking for ways to enhance
revenue potential by shifting
to profitable short-run jobs.
These print-on-demand jobs
reduce inventory costs and
allow the printing of shorter
runs on a just-in-time basis to
meet specific orders. KODAK
PROSPER 6000 presses make it
feasible and economical to print
up to 200-lpi quality books at
production run lengths of up to
3,000 copies. In addition, it can
produce millions of offset-like
pages month after month and
reduce costs associated with
obsolescence and warehousing.
While, printers in the commercial
print space are looking to provide
their customers with better
response rates for mailings.
KODAK PROSPER 6000 presses can produce high-gloss
targeted direct mail pieces for
an average of 30 percent less
than using electrophotographic
(toner-based) systems. These
economics deliver greater return
on marketing investments as
well as improved efficiency and
profitability for production runs
of up to one million high-quality
mail pieces.
Besides, newspaper printers
and publishers need to drive
innovation and leverage
technology to gain a competitive
advantage. KODAK PROSPER
6000 presses make it possible
to reach new audiences more
efficiently, while streamlining
print runs and adapting print
editions to target different
readers. Digitally printed
newspapers are the same size
as offset versions and have the
same look and feel, offering a
high-quality appearance that is
readily accepted by advertisers
and readers. The 6000 presses
allow multiple newspaper titles
to be produced in very short
runs. The right number of
newspaper editions needed for
each outlet can be produced with
sufficiently high productivity
for medium-sized markets:
15–20,000 newspapers.
