Scodix Metallic technology enables the creation of metallic colours in a selective digital process. It is designed to allow printers to bring more print enhancements in-house.
Scodix launched the printing enhancements to the US market while showcasing its inkjet technology and proprietary Scodix PolySENSE clear polymer, in a demonstration for HP Graphic Arts press owners. Dscoop8 was held in February 21-23 in Nashville, Tennessee.
“The Scodix Metallic quality effect provides an experience that has never been seen or felt before in the printing industry,” stated Scodix chief executive Kobi Bar. “It is a new, simple, cost effective way to allow PSP’s the option to augment their prints with metallic colouring by utilizing the CMYK colour process and enhancing it with the Scodix SENSE in a digital one-pass print process.”
The Scodix Metallic look and feel can only be created by using Scodix S digital enhancement presses with the Scodix RSP (Rotate, Scale and Position) technology. By using two CCD cameras and Scodix IP image algorithm, every image can be manipulated (scaling the image on X and Y axes, shifting and rotating it when required), ensuring precise quality and print registration ensuring the delivery of perfect metallic colours.
“We decided to introduce the S75 at Dscoop, since its new sheet and image size supports the new HP Indigo 10000 and Screen Trupress SX digital B2 size presses, with the ability to accept materials up to 20.8 x 29.5 inch (530x750mm),” said Dror Danai, Scodix EVP, Global Business.
