Tom Zotos Quote
"We live in a world of ever-evolving technological breakthroughs that are designed to capture and elevate our attention spans and understanding," notes Zotos. "In the printing community, science has enabled the artist to develop crisper and more high-definition messaging imagery that is near lifelike, but remains in a 2-D realm. Scodix's tools enable us to break away from typical print limitations and offer our audiences a 3-D feel that touches our senses beyond sight. It gives my craft of collectible art, as well as those in packaging, POP, and promotional signage, a look and feel that recaptures our imaginations and broadens our creative horizons."
Scodix Feedback
"At Scodix, we believe we are making a real difference in the commercial and digital printing industry, and more importantly in the businesses of each and every customer," notes Dror Danai, Vice President, Sales and Business Development, Scodix. "Yet it is still very exciting to have earned and received the industry and celebrity endorsement of someone who has made such an illustrious career out of impacting the world through his heightened sense of creativity and foresight. The demand for his work is only surpassed by his passion for his craft and the affect it has on his ever-growing audience. We are honored to have him endorse our Scodix SENSE and Scodix Rainbow technology as tools that further his mission."
