A massive B1-size press, the E106, will take centre stage on the Israeli-based manufacturer’s stand this year as the digital embellishing technology moves up to the top level.
Four years after Scodix really hit the scene at the previous show with its revolutionary digital enhancement technology it has placed more than 200 units in operation throughout the world. The popular Ultra system has changed the way printers approach filing and embossing. The B2-size Ultra Pro with foiling module is one of 12 different systems on the market that have found a place in every sector from commercial printing to folding carton manufacturing.
“Scodix leads the rapid adoption of digital enhancement equipment through its development of new products and applications that cannot be replicated or bettered by any other finishing process,” said Scodix CEO, Roy Porat, “Our print enhancement technology sets products apart from the competition and we’re looking forward to sharing our latest solutions with drupa visitors.”
Now Scodix is pushing the size frontier with its mammoth B1 digital embellishing press to be launched at drupa. Powered by Ricoh inkjet heads in 17 arrays, the powerful full-size digital press is designed for high-end productive print facilities. Since 2012, Scodix brought three different models to market and more than tripled the applications achievable with the technology.
Under construction at the company’s facilities in Israel, the E106 has already attracted plenty of interest from packaging printers. Following the success of the UltraPro the new machine closes the gap for the new technology.
Its ability to use a variety of print enhancements allows printers to customise their line with anything from foiling to three different polymers. With a throughput of up to 4,000 B1 sheets per hour it is a true industrial press that is sure to attract plenty of attention at drupa.
Currie Group has already placed a number of the Scodix engines with commercial printers in Australia.
