Rochester, NY, June 29 -- The KODAK DIGIMASTER E125 digital production system is "an impressive on demand printer that has great appeal for high volume print providers," according to the nation s leading independent authority on document imaging equipment. Better Buys for Business named the DIGIMASTER E125 system an Editor s Choice in its annual review of digital printers.

Better Buys for Business evaluates hundreds of models of copiers, printers, faxes and scanners from all major manufacturers when selecting award recipients, but only one or two from each category achieve Editor s Choice status, a designation for those products that provide the best performance and represent the best value.

"We are delighted to receive this prestigious award. It confirms that the DIGIMASTER E125 digital production system provides premier image quality, as well as an ideal solution to efficiently produce personalized, variable data print applications with productive and sophisticated online finishing," said Paula Balik, Product Marketing Manager, Digital Black and White Products, Kodak s Graphic Communications Group. "Most importantly, we re excited that our customers continue to grow their businesses through new applications and customers with innovative solutions such as the DIGIMASTER E125 system."

The Better Buys for Business guide describes the DIGIMASTER E125 system as "a versatile, speedy way for customers to add high volume production printing capabilities." The guide further credits the press for its process control technology, citing it "ensures image consistency, which is critical in print on demand applications."

The KODAK DIGIMASTER E125 digital production system, with a resolution of 600 x 600 dpi, employs a small particle developer and enhanced imaging technology to deliver high quality documents with sharp text, crisp halftones and rich graphics. Featuring rapid image processing and a print speed of 125 pages per minute, the DIGIMASTER E125 system is a highly productive press that supports a duty cycle of 2.5 million to 4.25 million impressions per month.

Better Buys for Business also highlights the remote Internet interface as "a notable feature" on the DIGIMASTER E125 production system. Users can employ Remote Access to remotely submit, monitor, retrieve/print and overall manage the print job status of the submitted jobs as they flow through the print queue of the DIGIMASTER system. This allows users to efficiently manage their operations and verify with their clients the print request. The Better Buys for Business 2006 High Volume Printer and Digital Duplicator Guide is slated for publication in early July.
