Special Effects/Finishes: Turn How Into Wow!

Value of Special Effects

Trade printer AccuLink, based in Greenville, NC, installed a Scodix 1200 on its HP Indigo 5500 digital press to enable special UV effects. The Scodix 1200 has the capacity to produce up to 99 gloss units and a polymer height of up to 70 microns for tangible dimension.

Tom O'Brien, co-owner of AccuLink, saw the Scodix in action at the 2011 Dscoop HP user group meeting and was captivated by the output. Later that year, he traveled to Israel to learn more and spent several days there, meeting with Scodix officials. When he left Israel, he had a signed order in hand.
