Scodix has launched two new digital enhancement presses, the Ultra 101 and the Ultra 202. They have been developed to meet the increased demand for digital enhancement and allow print service providers to target new revenue opportunities.
The Ultra 101, which is making its worldwide debut at the HP Indigo Global VIP customer event this month, is intended as a stepping stone into the world of digital enhancement. It is compatible with HP Indigo presses and offers six types of enhancements, including Sense, Foil, Metallic, VDE/VDP, Glitter and Cast&Cure, plus any combinations of those.
‘Delivering visually striking and tactile enhancements, Scodix adds great value to HP Indigo prints,’ said Alon Bar-Shany, general manager, HP Indigo division. ‘The introduction of the new Ultra 101 is further testament to the company’s innovation and will increase applications and business opportunities for HP Indigo customers.’
Meanwhile the Ultra 202 is designed to enable print providers to increase their throughput and create new business opportunities. Users can print on paper, lamination, a variety of water-based coatings, PVC and carton, opening the door to new applications. All nine of the Scodix applications (Braille, Crystal and Spot in addition to the above-mentioned) run on the press, replacing the need for separate systems on the production floor and preserving a small footprint.
‘By adding these new systems to our portfolio, we are increasing the number of customers that can employ Scodix and turn print into an experience,’ commented CEO Adina Shorr. ‘The Ultra 202 promises to be our flagship product, with the widest range of applications and substrate compatibility in the market, while the brand-new Ultra 101 provides a taste of that, allowing smaller printers to add luxurious embellishments and personalisation that sells brands, whilst protecting profitability.’
