Kodak has recognised Toppan Forms after the Japanese company returned a jetting module built with Kodak Stream Inkjet Technology for refurbishment after more than 34,000 hours of operation.
This is the equivalent of printing non-stop for almost four years, or producing enough A4 pages to reach the moon three times over. The inkjet head was installed in one of the information solutions company’s Kodak Prosper Presses in 2014.
‘Toppan Forms’ achievement speaks to its operational excellence as a print service provider of digitally produced print communication,’ said Will Mansfield, director of worldwide product marketing and category management for Kodak’s Enterprise Inkjet Systems. ‘It’s also a testament to the reliability of Prosper presses in the most demanding of print environments.’
‘I believe that this record-breaking achievement could not have happened without the cooperative framework that exists between Kodak and Toppan Forms,’ added Toppan Forms’ manager of production planning, Shoichi Horie. ‘We are delighted with the results that were displayed thanks to the ongoing partnership between our companies and the high level of technical expertise that we have. I am looking forward to this leading to even greater achievements being made in the future.’
Since installing its first Prosper press, Toppan Forms has expanded its service offering to include colour direct mail, transactional printing and personalised educational applications.
