Kodak Flexcel NX wins FTA’s 2009 Technical Innovation Award

The Flexographic Technical Association (FTA) has selected the Kodak Flexcel NX Digital Flexographic System as the sole recipient of its 2009 Technical Innovation Award. Presented on May 3 at the Foundation of Flexographic Technical Association’s 2009 Annual Forum and Info*Flex exhibition, the award recognizes companies that have developed new or improved innovative technology and printing techniques.

‘Kodak brings a wealth of knowledge and market insight to its family of flexo platemaking solutions, and to be recognized by one of the industry’s premier associations speaks to the quality, efficiency, and productivity we’ve been able to deliver to customers with the Flexcell NX System,’ said John Cross, general manager, packaging products, pre-press Solutions, Kodak.

The FTA congratulated Kodak for having its technology chosen as the sole recipient of the award. The association noted that the judging was once again very competitive.

Winner of the 2008 PIA/GATF InterTech Technology Award and the Flexographic Pre-Press Platemakers Association (FPPA) Technology Innovator of the Year Award, the Kodak Flexcel NX is claimed to provide ‘offset class, gravure quality’ printing on a wide variety of substrates – including paper, flexible film, foil, paperboard, and labelstock. The Flexcel NX system helps ensure stability and repeatability, both in pre-press and on press.

A number of Kodak customers also received Excellence in Print Awards in a variety of categories from FTA for projects produced using the Flexcel NX System.

‘We congratulate our customers on these well-deserved recognitions and will continue to bring them innovative solutions to help grow their businesses,’ Cross added.
