Kodak’s Stream Concept is not a revolution but more an incremental breakthrough in inkjet technology, offering higher resolution, smaller ink droplet size and faster droplet-generation resulting in a top speed of 2,500 A4 images per minute.

The press also uses new pigment-based inks with what Kodak says is “outstanding colour saturation and permanence”. It says that by using full-colour continuous inkjet technology the new inks will offer more flexibility to printers who in the past have been limited to printing on either inkjet-coated substrates or uncoated paper stocks with water/dye-based inks. Kodak claims that the Stream Concept’s greater-than-600dpi resolution ‘reaches offset class’, and is targeting it at commercial offset printers who are considering replacing or substituting inkjet for offset in some applications.
