CAPITALIZE ON NEW OPPORTUNITIES
PROSPER Plus Imprinting Systems enable you to combine high-quality offset printing with partial- or full-page 100% variable content in one easy step, so you can produce customizable promotions or packaging and attract new sources of revenue.
BUILT-IN FLEXIBILITY
Depending on the configuration, a system can include up to 12 print stations and 24 printheads. PROSPER Plus Imprinting Systems can be easily integrated using Kodak or third-party solutions.
OFFSET CLASS OUTPUT
With the reliability, productivity, cost of ownership and quality of offset, PROSPER Plus Imprinting Systems add customized content to in-line production without the need for additional off-line laser printing.
PRINT TO PROFIT
Using KODAK Stream Inkjet Technology, you create a world of new opportunities for your business. By adding KODAK PROSPER Plus Imprinting Systems to your existing press or processing line, you can produce everything from folding cartons, food wraps, labels and more – all in-line while protecting your existing equipment investment. The net result is you have more applications to offer, keeping jobs – and profits – in-house.
DRIVEN WITH POWER AND FLEXIBILITY
The KODAK PROSPER Plus Imprinting Systems are driven by a KODAK CS410s System Controller that offers an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) for efficiency and provides a digital front end that processes all industry standard file formats.
QUALITY COUNTS
With a resolution of up to 600 x 900 dpi (200 mpm /650 fpm) and a drop generation frequency in excess of 400 kHz, the KODAK PROSPER Plus Imprinting Systems produce the highest print quality of any hybrid imprinting system. Along with the exceptional optical density and permanence enabled by Kodak’s proprietary nanotechnology water-based inks, KODAK PROSPER Plus Imprinting Systems produce image quality that is difficult to distinguish from traditional printing, with the added value of immediacy and variability.
INKS AND SUBSTRATES
Kodak’s proprietary nanotechnology water-based inks provide the lowest cost, highest versatility and most environmentally-friendly option for production inkjet printing available today. Exceptionally small drop size enables high resolution, high-quality images as well as fast drying times on both paper and plastic substrates. In addition, Kodak’s packaging inks have passed US and European certifications for food safety, direct skin contact and food service products.

PRINT STATION FUNCTION
A print station houses the electronics and software that manage the pumps, valves, and filters that control the flow of ink, replenisher,
and cleaning fluids for the continuous inkjet printheads. It also controls various physical properties of fluids—including temperature,
pressure, and ink concentration.
PRINT STATION PHYSICAL DIMENSIONS
Height: 102.5 cm (40.4 in)
Width: 58.5 cm (23 in)
Power: 200-240 VAC 50/60 Hz 10 amps (S30 = 30 amps)
Depth: 65.5 cm (25.8 in)
Weight: 125 kg (275 lbs)
PRINTHEAD INTERFACE CONTROLLER FUNCTION
Each print station supports one or two Printhead Interface Controllers (PICs). A PIC box contains the electronics, software,
and fluid connections for driving a single inkjet printhead
PRINTHEAD INTERFACE CONTROLLER PHYSICAL SPECIFICATONS
Height: 61.6 cm (24.3 in)
Width: 18 cm (7.1 in)
Depth: 24.3 cm (9.6 in)

MOUNTING
PROSPER Plus Imprinting Systems can be mounted on web widths of 203.2 mm (8 in) to 1524 mm (60 in) using Kodak and qualified
3rd Party Tower/Carriage/Dryer solutions from 1 to 8 printhead rails.
PRINTHEADS
– Printheads are replaceable components that connect to PICs through a simple slide-on mechanism.
– Data can be split electronically between up to four print heads using the same controller.

ENVIRONMENTAL OPERATING RANGES
For environments with 10% relative humidity non-condensing, temperature range is 16°C - 40°C (60.8°F - 104°F)
For environments with 60% relative humidity non-condensing, temperature range is 16°C - 40°C (60.8°F - 104°F)
For environments with 90% relative humidity non-condensing, temperature range is 16°C - 30°C (60.8°F - 86°F)
DRYING
Recommended drying setup: ADPHOS NIR inkjet drying systems or other equivalent for most applications.
UTECO drying systems or other equivalent for flexographic film-based applications.
* PROSPER Plus 1W and 2W models utilize a dual bucket mounting apparatus to mechanically stitch two printheads for a width of 210 mm (8.26 in). The Kodak Dual Stitch Mount Customer Expectation Document outlines factors that affect stitch quality.
