Scodix has developed the next generation of its Ultra digital enhancement press series, consisting of six presses each targeted to a specific market segment.
This includes the Scodix Ultra 5000 and 6000, which are both able to handle the thicker substrates required for packaging applications – up to 2mm – and incorporate industrial pallet feeders and stackers. Whilst the Ultra 6000 offers a larger format, it comes with a simplified range of enhancements.
Other machines in the new family of Scodix Ultra digital enhancement presses include 3000 and 4000, designed with web-to-print/pack (W2P) in mind. Both incorporate Scodix Studio W2P software. The Ultra 3000 focuses on web-to-print, whilst the Ultra 4000, which can handle larger format substrates and integrate pallet feeders and stackers, is aimed at the web-to-pack market.
The Ultra 1000 and 2000 models are intended for commercial and speciality print applications. They are suitable for a number of different applications, and consequently are offered to the market at different price points. The Ultra 1000 is said to ‘deliver accessible digital enhancement’, whilst the Ultra 2000 offers all Scodix applications on one platform, including automatic polymer switching for high productivity.
The six new presses in the series succeed the Ultra 101 and 202, whilst the Scodix E106 press is still available for B1 folding carton applications.
Scodix CEO Eli Grinberg said, ‘As the world’s most innovative and experienced company in digital print enhancement, with over 400 presses installed around the world, we’re now launching one expanded product line that’s been designed to meet the needs of all of our customers across all of these industry sectors. Whatever the application, enhancement, or budget requirement, we have a solution within this series. Print service providers can choose the press that will best support the future growth of their business.
‘By incorporating digital enhancement, print providers can expand their service offerings with attention-grabbing applications, improving customer retention rates in these notoriously fickle times, whilst boosting margins and ultimately profitability. Whether the products are purchased traditional or through W2P channels, Scodix enhances products from premium business and greeting cards, folders, head-turning book covers, audience-engaging brochures to stand-out labels and packaging, folding cartons, rigid boxes, point-of-display and security markings always with a focus on fine detail and high quality results.
‘By launching this segmented product portfolio, we are increasing the number of customers that can employ Scodix, and we are offering Scodix value to more brands, print buyers and consumers of print. This is truly the next era for the Scodix business.’
