Scodix Announces Two New Presses and Scodix AI Solution
Scodix Leads Embellishments into the Future with New Product Lineup at Drupa 2024
Scodix, provider of digital embellishment solutions, gears up for a triumphant display at drupa as it announces today that two new presses will be launched at the show, the Scodix Ultra 2500 SHD and the Scodix Ultra 6500 SHD. In addition to Scodix SHD (Smart High Definition) technology, the two new presses also see the debut of Scodix MLE (Multi-layer Enhancement) and Scodix AI, an automated embellishment creator tool.
Scodix MLE opens a whole new dimension for embellishments on uncoated paper, favored for sustainability and affordability. The key to Scodix MLE is the ability to apply multiple Scodix layers in a single pass. For uncoated paper, the first layer acts as a selective micro coating primer before Scodix Foil or Scodix Sense. With the flexibility to add layering, braille and crystal effects become more economical.
Scodix Ultra 2500 SHD
Made possible with Scodix SHD technology, now integrated into the new presses, and the introduction of Scodix MLE, Scodix is adding six new applications to the current ten, making Scodix the only solution with 16 embellishment options available. These include: Scodix Uncoated, Scodix Sculpture, Scodix Matte, Scodix Security, Scodix Reflective, and by incorporating Scodix Art embellishing on transparent media with Scodix Transparent is now available on the Scodix Ultra 2500 SHD and the Scodix Ultra 6500 SHD presses.
In addition, both presses deliver new levels of automation and reduce the cost-per-page for incorporating value-added enhancement into printed products. The new product introductions signify the continued innovation Scodix brings to the world of enhancement, bridging the gap between traditional and digital technologies.
Elevating capabilities for enhancing print even further, Scodix is the first to introduce AI technology for automating embellishment additions. Drawing from databases of Scodix-enhanced pages, it suggests intelligent, proven design options, whilst also providing data on cost-per-page so print buyers can create embellished designs quickly and intelligently.
The new Scodix technologies, Scodix MLE and Scodix AI, join four existing Scodix technologies: Scodix SHD – for the finest enhancement quality experience yet, Scodix VDE (Variable Data Enhancement), Scodix PAS and Scodix RSP to bring the widest choice of Scodix embellishment applications available on a single press.
The primary distinction between the new presses lies in their formats: the Scodix Ultra 2500, Powered by SHD is available in a B2 (28-inch) size whilst the Ultra 6000 is in a B1 (41-inch format). Both presses, however, can be managed by a single operator, boosting the ease of use for print providers.
Eli Grinberg, Scodix CEO and Co-Founder, asserts, “With over 400 successful installs across the globe, we stand as the most proven enhancement technology in the market. However, we refuse to settle in that position, we are committed to elevating digital enhancement and driving the success of our customers even further. With these new products and technologies, we’re not just leading the pack – we're setting the pace for the future of embellishment. And we are delighted to showcase all this at drupa!”
Introducing Scodix AI: The First AI Solution to Automate Design Creativity for Print Embellishment
In the first of Scodix’ product unveilings for drupa 2024, the leading provider of digital embellishment solutions announces the launch of a first AI tool, Scodix AI. Taking advantage of the widespread popularity of Scodix presses, the AI technology uses learnings from vast databases of Scodix-enhanced pages to automate the embellishment design process. As AI is being introduced into all aspects of printing, Scodix is catering to the growing demand for automation tools among print providers and designers, and leveraging AI to help brands gain attention in a crowded marketplace.
Scodix AI’s automated embellishment design process analyses designs before suggesting intelligent design choices, so that even non-savvy designers have the capability to embellish and elevate their print. Scodix AI can be used with Scodix Sense and Scodix Foil, allowing users to achieve the most intricate results with glossy and embossed textures, or produce personalised, foil coated products.
With the Scodix AI algorithm process occurring in a secure cloud, the technology is compatible with any web interface, and integrates seamlessly into Web-to-Print and online storefronts.
“At Scodix, we pride ourselves on pushing the boundaries of innovation. The print industry is on the threshold of an AI advantage, and by embracing the technology for embellishments, we provide our customers with more business opportunity,” states Eli Grinberg, CEO and Co-Founder of Scodix, adding “Creativity with Scodix will lead this revolution, giving even creatively challenged users the ability to produce the most beautiful designs.”
Scodix will showcase its new technology at drupa 2024 on stand E11 in Hall 5 from May 28th to June 7.
