Extraordinary choices to grow your business

Productive print engines If you’ve been looking for the black and white digital print production system that can take your business to the next level, then look no further than the DIGIMASTER EX Platform. The KODAK DIGIMASTER EX Digital Production System is available in four rated print speeds—110 ppm, 125 ppm, the new 138 ppm, and 150 ppm. Each DIGIMASTER EX System offers a nearly identical complement of rich and robust features. All EX platform components run at the rated speed of the print engine for A4 (8.5 x 11 in.) stocks and maximize productivity on larger stocks through the use of variable print speed technology.
Standard paper supply A three drawer paper supply accommodating up to 4,000 sheets is included on the EX110, EX125, and EX138. The EX150 comes with six paper drawers, with an input capacity of up to 8,000 sheets. The standard paper supply supports a wide range of media sizes and weights to produce the most complex applications.
Standard finisher The finisher is included in the base configuration of all DIGIMASTER EX Systems. It holds up to 3,000 sheets, supports the same wide media range as the print engine, and offers straight or offset stacking with subset finishing. The finisher delivers a measured stitch rather than a fixed sized staple, which means whether you have two sheets or a hundred, the stitch neatly penetrates the set and folds cleanly on the other side in a variety of stapling positions.
Inserter: add value with pre-printed color covers, divider pages, and different stocks The inserter allows you to add pre-printed sheets, covers and other media to catalogs, manuals, and similar applications to make them more interesting, more colorful, and more effective—and saves you time by eliminating hand collation of inserts into a job. The inserter places sheets into the paper path post-fuser, so even delicate pages are inserted smoothly and reliably without damage. Like the print engine and paper supply module drawers, the inserter has load-while-run-capability and inserts at machine rated speed for maximum productivity.
Hole puncher: keep production at its peak with an integrated hole punch solution The in-line hole puncher multiplies the flexibility and productivity of your DIGIMASTER EX System with a fully-integrated, full-speed punching solution. The hole puncher can punch sheets for ring bound, plastic comb bound, spiral bound or twin loop bound documents. By adding in-line hole punching to your DIGIMASTER EX System, you can eliminate the cost of pre-drilled paper, reduce labor costs associated with off-line hole punching, and reduce turnaround time
Designed for full system integration and highly efficient operation, the hole puncher’s bypass mode allows you to fully utilize all post-finisher accessories, such as the booklet maker or perfect binder. The hole puncher provides excellent punch precision even with mixed media, and better set integrity by eliminating manual off-line job handling.


Stacker: let your jobs stack up—productively Add one, two, or three stackers to your KODAK DIGIMASTER EX System for maximum output capacity of 15,000 sheets. The stacker offers straight or offset stacking. Whether the output is destined for additional in-line or off-line finishing, it is delivered collated and ready for the next step in the finishing process.
When utilizing a multi-stacker configuration, output is delivered to the next available stacker once the current one is full, without operator intervention. The stacker also has a bypass mode that allows another finishing device, such as the booklet maker, to be attached at the same time. This lets you have jobs with different finishing options running one right after the other with no downtime for setup—giving you optimum productivity.

Extensive finishing choices: open the door to opportunity with booklet making solutions… or with digital book publishing

Booklet maker The booklet maker lets you expand your application reach and make existing applications even more effective by producing booklets in a variety of sizes with either long-edge or short-edge folds, including menus, travel guides, medical pamphlets and more. Print, stitch, fold, and trim booklets in one self-contained unit. Program the job at the front end, run it, and collect your finished booklets. No operator intervention required. Saddle stitch, fold, and trim (optional) up to 22 sheets for booklets up to 88 pages. The booklet maker supports the same stock range as the print engine for optimum flexibility.
Book publishing A digital book publishing solution must offer consistent and excellent image quality, quick turnaround, cost-effective production, and of course, the sophisticated finishing capabilities required to produce high quality books. The EX platform offers all the components you need to add digital books to your list of high-value applications.
C.P. Bourg BPRF (Perforator/Rotator/Folder) The BPRF module perforates, rotates, and folds sheets into four-page signatures for perfect-bound books. All pagination and chapters are programmed as part of the job set-up to ensure complete book integrity.
Perfect binder The perfect binder offers the versatility to produce smartly finished, perfect-bound books in a range of pages. It delivers up to 250 bound books per hour with a wide variety of cover types simply, easily and automatically. In-line or off-line binding is available.
