Scodix Feedback
“We are honored to receive this award and proud of the impact Scodix Metallic is so quickly making in our marketplace,” notes Dror Danai, Scodix EVP Business Development. “This innovative feature opens additional new and exciting Print Enhancement opportunities for Scodix customers and end users. Scodix Metallic delivers a simple solution that reaches quality that’s extremely hard, if at all possible, using traditional stamping technologies. The ability to offer metallic glossy and/or matte colors in a simple, cost-effective, in-house print process widens the variety of enhancements available now in any run length”
About Scodix Metallic™
By applying the Scodix SENSE™ clear polymer over the selected CMYK colors, the print colors transform into a completely amazing experience. With one single pass of Scodix SENSE™, a printed sheet can have gold, silver, bronze, embossing, textures, high and low levels of clear polymer effects and more. This high-quality, eye-catching gloss process provides true visual impact unmatched in any other digital process. In addition, the Scodix SENSE protects the printed image and the metallic impact from scratching and scuffing, a clear advantage over traditional foil stamping. The Scodix Metallic print process is a patent pending process.
“Scodix Metallic delivers real market differentiation to our customers. This innovation builds upon the company’s image-to-image registration technology. Scodix uses two CCD cameras and a proprietary image algorithm to manipulate every image into perfect registration. We call this innovation Scodix RSP™ Technology. This patent-pending technology rotates any miscut image, scales any humidity-changed sheet and positions any misfit image into registration. First sheet, every sheet.” says Scodix CEO Kobi Bar. “Scodix does all this automatically, delivering multiple metallic colors in a single pass. Scodix RSP is the only solution in the market that can ensure perfect registration, image to image, not just sheet to sheet.”
