Kodak demos prepress at Drent Goebel open house

Kodak will partner with press manufacturer Drent Goebel to show package printers the benefits of digital prepress, platemaking and printing at a customer event June 22–27. Drent Goebel will host the five-day event at its facility outside Montreal, Quebec.

Kodak will bring to Montreal a full suite of prepress solutions for package printers, including the Kodak Prinergy Powerpack workflow system, Staccato screening software, Spotless printing solution, the Kodak Trendsetter 800 II Quantum platesetter and Kodak Sword Excel thermal printing plates. Several live demonstrations and workshops will be held each day throughout the event.

'The Drent Goebel Demonstration Days are an excellent opportunity for Kodak to show its prepress solutions in action to package printers,' said Vic Stalam, general manager, Packaging, Kodak. 'Kodak representatives will demonstrate the production process from receipt of the design files through to plate production for a Drent Goebel press. Attendees will witness firsthand how the speed, ease of use and color quality of KODAK solutions can help open up new opportunities for growth.'

'For Drent Goebel, this open house is the perfect opportunity to introduce our latest developments to the North American market in a ‘real life’ situation, which means that they can witness the entire process from platemaking to finishing,' said Rob Schellekens, director of marketing and sales at Drent Goebel. 'Partnering with Kodak for prepress is the most logical option since they make top quality equipment that is fast and easy to use.'
