Trade printer specializing in sign and display applications gains full range of Scodix embellishments for business growth
Bensenville, Illinois, United States – August 8, 2022 – Leading trade printer, Precise Digital Printing Graphics (PDP), has invested in a new Scodix Ultra 2000 Digital Enhancement Press, bringing a wide range of embellishment choices to customers, adding impact to their printed applications with Scodix embellishments such as foil, glitter, metallic, braille, spot UV, and cast-and-cure embellishments to printers in the U.S., particularly in the Chicago area.
It’s just amazing what this Scodix press can do and the fact that we can spot UV and foil stamp sheets as large as 21″ x 31” is game changing,” asserts Kevin Grouwinkel, V.P. Sales & Marketing for Precise Digital Printing. “After more than six months of rigorous testing of all the comparable models on the market, in the end, we felt the build and quality of Scodix was far superior. The feeding system is able to handle all the different papers on our feed table and the paper handling and registration was exceptional.”
The Scodix Ultra 2000 press incorporates the whole range of Scodix embellishments and comes with an automated mechanism enabling operators to switch between polymers rapidly and simply. This allows operators to quickly adapt to whatever print job comes in from customers, whatever the level of ink coverage or substrate chosen, and for the business to future proof – leaving the door open for polymers suitable for food compliance or security measures. Rapid polymer switching also allows PDP to maximize its performance and productivity as the company expands its customer base, offering new services around customized and short-run embellishment.
A leading wholesale supplier of full color signs, banners, graphics and point-of-purchase displays, Precise Digital Printing will extend the capability of embellishing print to its customer base of large litho houses, print franchises, large format printers, and display companies. From prototyping to full production runs, the Scodix press will embellish print from PDP’s three HP Scitex printers, providing a perfect complement to its existing services, positioning the company to grow its market share.
The Scodix Ultra 2000 Press is part of Scodix Ultra series of digital enhancement systems. Aimed specifically at the commercial printing market, it’s joined by the flagship Ultra 6000 – embellishing formats up to B1 size – and the Ultra 5000 developed for packaging printers and converters. Commercial printers also have the Ultra 1000 for a wide range of embellishments at a lower price point, and for Web2Print, the Scodix Ultra 3000 and Ultra 4000 presses both incorporate Scodix W2P software.
Paul Furse, Scodix North American Director of Sales, comments, “We, at Scodix, are exceptionally excited to partner with PDP. As a trade printer, they will bring the benefits of Scodix embellishment to marketing agencies, brands and print buyers in the Chicago area, demonstrating what is now possible, beyond conventional foil and spot-UV embellishments, turning print into an experience. Above all, PDP has uniquely positioned itself for massive growth, and I’m delighted Scodix is part of that story.”
