Scodix Customer Story -
CJ Graphics
Jay Mandarino, President of CJ Graphics, located just 10 minutes from Toronto’s international airport, introduces Scodix as part of a recurring “60-second update” series showcasing the technology’s capabilities. He describes Scodix as digital technology that requires no dyes, performing both Spot UV and foil stamping, and calls the resulting effects “incredible.”
The Solution
CJ Graphics uses Scodix to add tactile, dimensional effects that standard printing can’t achieve. On a woven-look poster, the technology adds a textured background with a feathered, terry-curve effect that gives the piece a genuine tactile feel, whether the run is 100, 1,000, or 10,000 pieces.
On a fish illustration, Scodix brings out a shimmering quality in the scales and water that Mandarino describes as making the image “come to life.” For smaller-format work, Scodix’s silver, gold, and bronze foil options add a shiny, embossed-feeling finish he calls “boss.”
The Result
Across every example shown, from large-format textured posters to small foil-finished pieces, the throughline is differentiation: Scodix effects make a job stand out regardless of run length. Mandarino closes by highlighting a final silver foil piece, printed entirely digitally, as proof of how much dimension and shine Scodix can add without traditional foil-stamping equipment or setup.
The Result: Print That Feels as Good as It Looks
From woven textures to shimmering foils, Scodix lets CJ Graphics turn any print run into something tactile and memorable.
“It really comes to life. I really love this.”
