KODAK NEXPRESS 2700SX The NexPress SX platform is a fully modural design, which allows us to easily expand as our business needs change.

Focusing on more cell-like production, one printer will be dedicated to our Color print-and-stitch products, such as Newsletters, and the second printer will focus on custom trademark reports, that will have the option to in-line drill.

In this form of lithography, which depends on photographic processes, flexible aluminum or plastic printing plates are used in place of stone tablets. Many innovations and technical refinements have been made in printing processes and presses over the years, including the development of presses with multiple units (each containing one printing plate) that can print multi-color images in one pass on both sides of the sheet, and presses that accommodate continuous rolls (webs) of paper, known as web presses. Another innovation was the continuous dampening system. This increased control over the water flow to the plate and allowed for better ink and water balance. The History The advent of desktop publishing Alois Senefelder of Munich discovered while the negative image would be made it possible for type and the basic principle of lithography, water. When the plate is introduced images to be manipulated easily on “writing on stone,” in 1798.

But if it is difficult to shape a new future for newspapers because of their dependency on advertising revenues, the future is not so gloomy for the printed book. Reader behaviour is very different. The newspaper reader flits from page to page, from article seeking out the news items that provide interest or the comment pieces that provoke or inform opinion. The book reader by contrast is engaged in a more leisurely activity, hoping to be entertained as well as informed. Sitting back with a printed book will always be a great pleasure in a digital world. Books cannot be immune to change and we agree with those that anticipate that novels and light reading will switch to digital devices. However, more than one has remarked that consumers, having read and enjoyed a book on their ereader, are going out to buy a nicely produced hard copy version, if only to display on their book shelves. A decade ago people might have A Short History of Time to impress visitors though few NOVEMBER 2012 ever read the book.
