There is an energy to the city that you feel before you see it. Neon reflections on wet pavement. Underground beats, and quiet cafés. For our collaboration with Kodak, we wanted to bottle that feeling and bring it to the world of premium print.
This sample pack was printed on the Kodak Prosper Ultra 520 Press and coated using H&B’s Synergy Coating on the Harris & Bruno ZRW, the official web coater for Kodak.
Billerud Productolith 12pt served as the foundation for the outer box, giving it a light weight portable feel. The cards inside were printed on Billerud Sterling Ultra Gloss with Kodak Precoat 9pt, creating the perfect canvas for rich color laydown and smooth, tactile finishing.
Color and Coating in Perfect Sync at High-Speeds
The Prosper Ultra 520 Press delivered deep contrast, sharp detail, and brilliant saturation across a continuous web, showcasing the power of high speed inkjet at its finest. Following, the Harris & Bruno ZRW and our Synergy Coatings elevated the imagery again, sealing color, protecting the surface, and adding tactile character without slowing production.
Engineered to run seamlessly inline with the Prosper Ultra 520 for both precoating and post coating, the ZRW maintains full press speed while providing precise coating laydown and rapid curing. This is purpose built technology for high volume, high consistency web applications, where inkjet and coating function as one continuous, optimized system.
When ink and coating work in harmony, print stops being a flat image. It becomes energy. It becomes emotion. It becomes a moment worth remembering.
A Tour Through the City in Texture
Each card in this collection represents a slice of city life, brought to life through texture, sheen, and contrast.

To honor Kodak’s legacy, we added a special card, digitally embellished on the Harris & Bruno ZRX Digital Embellishment Press, featuring gold foil and spot gloss on iconic Kodak film boxes. A nod to where print has been and where it is going.
Every piece is proof that look and feel matters. Gloss makes light dance. Matte makes color breathe. Soft touch creates intimacy. Pearl adds magic. Texture turns print into experience.
Why This Collaboration Matters
Kodak and Harris & Bruno share a passion for pushing print forward. Inkjet technology continues to accelerate, and today’s brands demand speed, beauty, and flexibility without compromise. Together, we set out to show that high volume inkjet and premium coatings are the new standard for high impact print.
