Kodak Marks 40th Anniversary of Technology for High-Speed Continuous Inkjet Printing

Forty years later, through innovative technology enhancements in color, speed, and quality, continuous inkjet printing has expanded into market segments such as newspapers, packaging, and book printing, and recently even created a new communications category, TransPromo.

“The advent of Kodak’s continuous inkjet printing technology marked a true watershed that extended beyond the printing industry,” said Frank Romano, professor emeritus, Rochester Institute of Technology, School of Print Media. “It improved the way that businesses communicate with customers through bills, statements, and personalized direct mail; led to new products such as instant lottery tickets; and spawned a range of new technologies based on Kodak’s core technology. It even changed the way that magazines, catalogs, and direct mail were addressed.”
