Kodak caused a stir at Hunkeler Innovationdays 2025 in Lucerne, Switzerland, with a spectacular application printed on the Kodak Prosper 7000 Turbo Press. At the event for international trade media and industry analysts, Kodak demonstrated the speed of the world’s fastest web-fed inkjet press, which was on show in Europe for the first time, by printing excerpts from the movie, “The Last Showgirl” and two music videos, Kesha’s “Joyride” and AntsLive’s “Captain Ants” that were all shot on Kodak film to simulate the effect of a movie being projected.

Leveraging its Turbo mode, the Prosper 7000 Turbo Press printed the movie sequences with water-based Kodak Eketacolor inks at a speed of 410 meters a minute (1,345 fpm). When printing the images, the Prosper 7000 Turbo Press achieved such a high frame rate that the movies were played back smoothly on the monitors of the press’s quality monitoring system. The intriguing ‘cinema show on paper’ impressed the visitors and as a solution for the highly productive printing of direct mail, commercial, transactional, and books.
“With this unique showcase we celebrate our heritage in film and our current breakthroughs in high-speed inkjet technology,” commented Jim Continenza, executive chairman and chief executive officer, Kodak. “This combination highlights our ongoing commitment to innovation and developing cutting-edge technology that will revolutionize and advance the printing industry.”
