drupa 2012 : Inkjet and B2 Digital Trend

Digital Finishing Presses

Even though they may operate in a manner akin to other imaging devices, referring to machines dedicated to applying a coating or other treatment as digital presses still seems like a stretch. They’re in a class unto themselves.

The B2 trend was evident even in this product segment with Scodix adding the S74 (29˝/74cm) and S52 (20˝/52cm) models to its Digital Press S series. These devices use inkjet nozzles to deliver drops of PolySENSE clear polymer that can be built up to a 250-micron thickness on substrates from 135 to 675 gsm. Scodix was also highlighting its Rainbow glittering station, a dedicated UV unit that applies a special type of PolySENSE followed by standard glittering powder.
