A history of innovations in color and print technologies drives Kodak’s ability to provide commercial printers with the right technology, at the right time, for the right applications.

Kodak Vice President of Global Sales, Jeff Zellmer, shares insights on the NEXFINITY Platform with the American Printer team

Jeff Zellmer

Jeff Zellmer KodakJeff Zellmer previously worked with Kodak’s Executive Chairman, Jim Continenza, and was well aware of his previous successes with corporate turnarounds. Zellmer has been involved with print and technology companies since his college days.

When Mr. Continenza invited Jeff to join Kodak, he enthusiastically accepted the opportunity to apply his experience to help accelerate Kodak’s transformation.

NEXFINITY Reliability

Since joining Kodak, Jeff’s focus is to revamp Kodak’s sales process. One area where he is spending much of his time is enhancing recognition of the NEXFINITY Digital Press platform as THE choice of growth-focused printing companies based on three characteristics:

  1. Reliability - In production environments, any glitch or hiccup that slows production is a profit killer. From material feeding to smooth paper flow, the NEXFINITY platform is optimized to reduce and eliminate downtime from misfeeds and jams that take precious minutes off the production clock. Print operators find it intuitive, easy to learn, operate, and maintain. Work moves quickly from material loading to finished print adding in overall operational efficiency. Color station changes are fast, and Kodak’s dry inks deliver exceptional, consistent color and enhanced finishing touches.
     
  2. Versatility - The NEXFINITY Platform is a superior choice for printers who want the flexibility and capacity to produce a variety of printed materials and applications. NEXFINITY’s digital platform is perfectly engineered to support short-run, customized applications requiring a wide range of substrates that make up an increasing percentage of print jobs. Engineered to accommodate a fifth color station, NEXFINITY expands the scope of print applications, including raised print embellishments. The NEXFINITY’S unmatched versatility increases overall productivity and handling of the broadest range of substrates. 
     
  3.  Print Quality - The NEXFINITY Platform leverages Kodak’s ‘pictures on paper’ experience to develop the dry inks that render brilliant and flexible color output.

Jeff shares, “We have customers that are doing 110 to 150 different jobs a day in a one-shift environment. That cannot be done on most of the competitive digital presses out there, and obviously, you can’t do that with analog technology. It can also be challenging to achieve in an inkjet-only environment. That kind of versatility in one device allows printers to satisfy a lot of different customers.”

Kodak Joshua MulveyA Consultative Partnership

Jeff views Kodak’s relationship with the commercial printer community as a consultative partnership. Determining the right solution for a specific company requires collaboration to fully understand their objectives and current production environment. That knowledge allows the Kodak team to determine the right technology to enhance the client’s business.

If the NEXFINITY Platform is determined to be the best fit, the process then moves to making the buyer aware of unique applications that could be produced due to the Platform’s versatile technology. Jeff adds, “We believe that this type of collaboration expands opportunities for everyone.”

NEXFINITY – Phenomenal Press, Under-Represented

Jeff shares, “The NEXFINITY platform is a superior choice for printers. I want printers to know that this is something that they should look at for their business. It’s vibrant. It’s new. It will help them win business and grow their print shops. And it’s just a phenomenal product that I think is underrepresented in the marketplace.”
