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

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.
