Continuous inkjet, digital production and specialty printing platforms engineered in Rochester since 1892. Built on 130+ years of imaging science — applied to packaging, transactional, publication and label print at 24/7 production cadence.
From high-speed continuous inkjet for transactional and direct-mail work to flexographic label systems and industrial 3D printing, every Kodak platform ships with documented color management and a documented service interval calendar.
Deflected continuous-stream architecture for transactional, direct-mail and publication work at high register stability.

Read the Technical Brief
Kodak Research Laboratories, founded 1912, is one of the oldest industrial research labs in the U.S. Its silver-halide, inkjet drop-on-demand and color-science contributions remain reference processes for commercial print.
Patented continuous-stream inkjet architecture delivers deflected drops at uniform velocity, enabling high register stability for transactional, direct-mail and publication production runs.
PRINERGY workflow combined with device-link ICC profiling supports closed-loop color from pre-press through press to finishing, with per-job Delta-E reporting against substrate targets.
Factory-trained technicians, 24/7 remote diagnostics on connected presses and consignment parts inventory at large production sites minimise unplanned downtime windows.
Production platforms validate to Fogra PSO and G7 master qualification; electrical platforms listed to UL 60950 / IEC 62368; sustainability reported under ISO 14001.
Aqueous pigment ink chemistry, recyclable substrate support verified with deinking mills, and ISO 14001 environmental management reported at Rochester and Xiamen plants.
Short-run to long-run color for marketing collateral, brochures and business print.
Variable-data workflows for statements, billing inserts and high-cadence direct mail campaigns.
Folding-carton and flexible packaging with inline color measurement and substrate-aware ink sets.
Narrow-web flexo and digital label for consumer goods, pharmaceutical and industrial product identification.
Outcomes reported by customer operations teams. Individual results depend on substrate, workflow and operator certification. Quoted metrics describe demonstrated capabilities rather than guaranteed outcomes.
"Switching to Kodak continuous inkjet let us consolidate two toner lines into one CIJ platform and reduce changeover time to under 12 minutes between job runs."
"We ran the Fogra PSO validation on the Kodak digital platform and matched our existing offset line within Delta-E 1.6 on coated board stock — that was the signal to expand digital capacity."
"Remote diagnostics caught a drive-motor signature change before the part failed. The consignment part was on-site and installed before the next shift started."
Reported at Rochester, NY and Xiamen, China manufacturing sites covering energy, water and solvent use.
Water-based pigment inks without chlorinated solvents; VOC profiles published in safety data sheets.
Recyclable substrate support verified with partner deinking mills for publication and direct-mail workflows.
ENERGY STAR-qualified on eligible models; kWh-per-thousand-impression data available on request.
