Press release from the issuing company

MEREDITH, N.H. (April 19th, 2006) – VUTEk, a division of EFI, has entered into an exclusive partnership with Códice Transfer Factory of Malaga, Spain for their Double System Control Visual (DSCV) technology, specifically designed to produce eye-catching graphic effects for interior and exterior advertising applications. EFI is the world leader in digital controllers, superwide format printers and inks, and print management solutions for commercial and enterprise printing. “Through this strategic alliance, VUTEk and Códice will develop technologies that will increase the range of applications customers can produce using VUTEk printers,” Alfonso Lage Vidal, president/owner, Códice, said. Andrew Brown, senior vice president/general manager, VUTEk, added, “At VUTEk, we take pride in being the innovation leader in wide and superwide digital inkjet printing technology. The VUTEK-Codice partnership is another example of our efforts to provide our customers with the opportunity to bring new applications to the market. This allows them to stay on the forefront of the printing industry and to make the most of their VUTEk investment." The Double System Control Visual (DSCV) technology consists of DSCV Static and DSCV Dynamic. DSCV Static technology prints one-way see-through graphics, useful for privacy, security, practicality or just visual interest applications. This breakthrough software technology allows users the ability to print images with the PressVu UV printer using VUTEk’s regular CMYK UV inks and a specially formulated white UV ink. From one side you will see a crisp, clean image, while on the other side you will have a clear view right through. DSCV technology offers this exciting graphic capability at a more than reasonable price and on just about any rigid or flexible transparent substrate. DSCV Dynamic offers the ability to display two or three images with exposure times of between 2 and 14 seconds. Due to the level of light, along with spectacular transitions of video quality, it creates a visual sensation of a plasma screen. This is the perfect system for urban uses, restaurants, airports, undergrounds, transit areas, hotels, supermarkets, banks, service stations and more. DSCV technology is standard on all PressVu UV printers. Earlier printer models can be easily and affordably upgraded to provide this capability. To learn more about DSCV technology, call 603-279-4635.
