Nov 17, 2011 Rochester, NY, The KODAK NEXPRESS SX Digital Production Color Platform with the long-sheet option has been honored with the German printing industry's prestigious Innovation Award 2011. The digital press scooped the coveted ‘Most Innovative Technology’ (Gold Award) in the Printing category. The awards are organized by the Deutscher Drucker Verlagsgesellschaft publishing house. The winners were chosen in an internet poll by readers of Deutscher Drucker and Grafische Palette, two leading German trade journals, and print.de, froma total of 30 technologies nominated by the publications’ editors.

This latest award marks a hat trick of honors for Kodak. In 2009, the company won an Innovation Award for its unique KODAK NEXPRESS Dimensional Printing System, while last year Kodak walked away with two Innovation Awards—the first for its KODAK TRILLIAN SP Thermal Plate in the Prepress category and the second for its KODAK PROSPER 5000XL Press in the Printing category.
