At the event, some of the very first printers to introduce PRINERGY into their production workflow were among the hundreds of attendees. For all these printers, a common theme emerged about the impact of PRINERGY on the industry. The relentless march to be more flexible and efficient has meant that printers of all sizes need to integrate solutions that optimize their workflow and throughput while managing their overall costs. In the forum’s opening address by Todd Bigger, who was recently appointed to lead the company’s software division, he set out a clear vision for how Kodak and PRINERGY will continue to provide printers with the innovative tools and close collaboration to remain competitive and profitable.

“For twenty years, PRINERGY has helped thousands of printers all over the world focus on what matters most, building a thriving business” said Todd Bigger, President, Kodak Software Division. “Our customer-focused and customer-driven approach continues to guide us today as we invest in PRINERGY to make the most powerful tool in the industry even better. While the demands on printers become more complex with opportunities to grow into new markets, PRINERGY aims to eliminate complexity for printers with comprehensive automation that drives costs down and is easily expandable, so you can add capabilities as your needs change, and your business evolves.”
