Bayard Printing - Design for Digital

As you learn more about digital printing, you’ll soon discover a whole new range of creative options never dreamt of in the conventional print world. Digital printing systems, like the Kodak NexPress digital production color press, are a perfect choice for smaller quantities, print-on- demand and tight deadlines. Digital also excels when a project calls for a variety of substrates or when a job requires several different versions. And, when it comes to variable data printing, there is simply no other way. This guide will help you learn how you can use the benefits of digital printing to expand your creative options. Why the NexPress color press? The Kodak NexPress press is a unique printing solution. It combines the power of a press with the flexibility of a printer. Like an offset press, the Kodak NexPress digital press delivers high productivity and consistently top-qual- ity pages. At the same time, it provides the immediate turnaround and short run economy of a printer. The ability of the press to reproduce true color on a variety of substrates—coated and uncoated—gives you the options most digital printers can’t deliver. And because it’s sheet-fed, you can choose from a wide range of paper stocks and combine up to three different papers in a single job. The technology of Kodak NexPress dry ink eliminates the time-intensive drying process, enabling documents to go directly to finishing. These features make the NexPress press the right choice for the higher- value print applications your clients need, including high-quality, on-demand prints in short runs with quick turnarounds; fully customized 1-to-1 marketing materials; and full- color collated pages that are ready to be finished immediately. The Kodak NexPress press was designed and built to meet the requirements of jobs that demand quality, flexibility and speed. Multiple paper stocks are collated right on press. Output is delivered dry and ready for finishing—ideal for flexibility and speed. Why digital printing? Designing for success 3
