Every FINISHpro 3D 1623 Flatbed UV Resin Printer now ships with a Reaktor license. That gives printers a real-time, web-based way to show clients the look and feel of foil, spot UV, and tactile finishes — before anything goes to press.?

Melbourne, Florida, US - Taktiful Software Solutions and Skandacor today announced a partnership that changes how printers sell embellishment work. Every FINISHpro 3D 1623 Flatbed UV Resin Printer will now include a license of Reaktor — Taktiful's cloud-based 3D visualization and sales platform. It's the pairing printers have been waiting for: affordable embellishment hardware with the soft-proofing tool that helps sell the work.

The FINISHpro 3D 1623 made waves as the world's first inkjet embellishment press priced under $70,000. It produces raised textures, dimensional spot UV, and digital foil accents on sheets up to 16x23 inches. That dramatically lowered the cost of entry into a category that once carried 6-figure price tags.

But for many shops, the hardest part was never production. It was getting a client to approve an effect they couldn't yet see, hold, or picture on the finished piece.

That's the gap this partnership closes.

Reaktor lets users upload production-ready artwork and instantly preview foil, spot UV, raised textures, layered effects, and specialty finishes in an interactive, photorealistic 3D scene. Proofs can be rotated, examined under light, and shared in a single link. They're viewable on any device — even a phone in a client meeting. Now the press that produces the embellishment and the platform that sells it arrive together.

"We built the 1623 to put premium embellishment within reach of every print shop. But the fastest way to grow embellishment revenue is to help clients say yes — and you can't sell what they can't picture," said Brad Drever, CEO of Skandacor. "Bundling Reaktor with every FINISHpro 3D 1623 means our customers can show a client exactly how foil, spot UV, or raised texture will look and feel. They can close the job in the room and produce it in-house. The hardware and the sales tool finally ship as one."

"Skandacor cracked the hardware accessibility problem with the 1623. Reaktor cracks the visualization problem on the sales side," said Kevin Abergel, Founder and CEO of Taktiful Software Solutions. "Together, they remove the 2 biggest barriers to growing embellishment work: the cost of the press and the uncertainty of the sale. A printer can show the effect on a phone, win the job, and run it on a press that costs a fraction of what embellishment used to demand. That's how you build a market — not just move a machine."

How the bundle works

Every FINISHpro 3D 1623 sold by Skandacor includes a Reaktor license at no additional charge. New owners can start proofing and presenting embellished work in Reaktor the moment their press is installed. They'll use the same artwork that runs on the 1623.

Why it matters for Printers

For commercial printers, packaging converters, and specialty shops, this combination shortens the path from quote to approval. Beta users of Reaktor reported faster approval cycles, clearer communication between design and production, and greater confidence selling premium finishes — because clients could see and interact with the embellishment instead of imagining it. Paired with the 1623's low cost of entry, the bundle gives shops a practical way to add high-margin work without the traditional capital risk or guesswork.
