Consumer Digital Group
1. Inkjet System – The “Science Behind”
Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System Print Head
– Dual Cartridge System Means No swapping for a
photo cartridge
– Micro-Precision, Uniform Dot Placement
– Dual Drop Sizes – 2.7 pL & 6.5 pL
– 3,840 nozzle high density permanent printhead
– High drop firing frequency
– ½ inch printhead swath height (less passes)
The End Result: Kodak lab quality photo prints in as little
as 28 seconds
Micro-precision dot placement
Poorly controlled dot placement

Kodak Technology
Conventional Milling
The End Result? Vibrant photos and sharp, crisp documents that are durable and last a lifetime (100+ years unprotected)
– Patented Pigmented Based Inks (vs. Dye-
Based)
– Dedicated Black Ink for Text, Separate Black
Ink for Photos
– Proprietary milling process for Uniform
Particle Sizes
– Proprietary protective ink coating for Uniform
Gloss Levels
– Polymeric Binders for Durability
2. Inks – The “Science Behind”
Consumer Digital Group
Porous Paper Technology
– Optimized formula for Kodak pigmented inks
– 15 millisecond ink drop absorption
– High gloss surface to maximize image quality and color rendition
– Water and smudge resistance exceeds performance of dye-based systems
Consumer Benefit? Dries instantly for immediate handling.
