Over 150 people from across the industry came together in New Orleans last month to mark the 20th anniversary of Kodak’s workflow software, Prinergy.
The two-day 2019 GUA Conference saw printers, industry partners and media representatives celebrate two decades of collaboration between print service providers and Kodak, as well as engage in discussions on the latest technology innovations.
For most of its 20-year history Prinergy has been used primarily to drive litho or flexo production but it does also support Kodak’s digital print technologies – the Nexpress/Nexfinity cut-sheet toner presses and the Prosper high-speed inkjet line.
‘For twenty years, Prinergy has helped thousands of printers all over the world focus on what matters most, building a thriving business,’ said Todd Bigger, president of Kodak’s Software Division. ‘Our customer-focused and customer-driven approach continues to guide us today as we invest in Prinergy to make the most powerful tool in the industry even better.
‘While the demands on printers become more complex with opportunities to grow into new markets, Prinergy aims to eliminate complexity for printers with comprehensive automation that drives costs down and is easily expandable, so you can add capabilities as your needs change, and your business evolves.’
The software also provides customisable automation capabilities as well as access to cloud-based and decision analytics-based tools. In the lead-up to drupa 2020, Kodak is expected to announce several new Prinergy developments, including the upcoming release of Prinergy Managed Services.
