Scodix launches B2+ and B3+ digital embossing presses

Digital press manufacturer Scodix has broadened its format capabilities with its new S Series of digital embossing presses, capable of supporting B2+ and B3+ size applications.

The company's S52 and S74 inkjet production presses use a jetting block and multiple independently-controlled inkjet nozzles to disperse a proprietary clear polymer called Polysense.

Its machines can emboss on selective areas of gloss or matt substrates and are suitable for a raft of different variable data applications spanning marketing literature and greetings cards through to packaging and photo albums.

The Scodix S Series, which can reach speeds up to 1,200sph, can process a range of substrate weights that span 135gsm up to 675gsm in thicknesses up to 0.7mm.

The increased format size of the B3+ S52 and B2+ S74 presses expand the number of product applications the machines can handle.

Capable of printing variable levels of thickness and texture, embossing can reach a height up to 250 microns, which enables it for use in Braille applications.

Kobi Bar, chief executive and founder of Scodix, said: "Since Scodix's enhancement products are modular and their new features are add-ons that can be fully integrated into customers' existing Scodix systems.

"PSP's can easily and cost-effectively provide the ScodixSense experience on the majority of graphic art requests."
 
The Scodix Digital Press S Series will be officially launched at Drupa on stand B31 in Hall 4.
