Scodix Ultra Digital Press Features
The new digital enhancement press offers several features that maximize the quality, speed, and wow-factor for each user:

• Accurate Registration: Scodix RSP™ Technology, the company’s patent-pending technology, is based upon a multi-CCD camera system and dedicated software algorithms. This coupling of technology allows Scodix presses to rotate the enhancement to adjust for imperfectly cut sheets, scale the enhancement to compensate for humidity-changed sheets, and to position each image with pinpoint accuracy, correcting for any fit-shifts inherent in digital and litho printing.

• High Volume Productivity: At 1,250 sheets per hour, the Scodix Ultra can produce 10,000 B2 sheets, 40,000 photo-book covers, 80,000 greeting cards, or 480,000 business cards during every 8 hour shift.

• Scodix PolySENSE: The Scodix Ultra Digital Press executes unblemished, selective enhancements with proprietary PolySENSE™ clear polymer which shines up to 99 gloss units creating high impact with tangible dimension. These polymers are further enhanced by applying the Scodix “lens effect” (which brings more color to the viewing eye) or Scodix Metallic™, which offers an unlimited variety of metallic colors in a single step process.

In addition, the new Scodix Ultra offers Scodix Twin-Tray™ Technology (two trays operating simultaneously), supporting up to B2+ size sheet format (545 x 788 mm / 21.5 x 31 inches) in material weights from 6 to 30 points (135 to 675 gsm), using materials as thick as 700 microns (up to 0.7 mm), and is equipped with remote access compatibility and a built-in automatic maintenance system.
