Printer teams up with industry to showcase digital

Printer RCS, Screen, Scodix and Highcon will unite to showcase the latest in digital print and finishing for personalized print and packaging at North Print & Pack.

 

RCS will show the range of added-value gift products it is producing using the Screen Truepress JetSX B2 digital press and the Scodix B2 digital embossing press range in its Retford factory.

 

RCS is joined by Screen and Conversion, the distributor for Scodix and the Highcon Euclid digital cutting and creasing system in the UK, to present personalized labels, cartons and creative print applications that can be produced using digital print and finishing technology.

 

The Screen Truepress JetSX is the world’s first full-colour, duplex B2-size sheet-fed inkjet press. The press has a straight-feed, precision vacuum flat-bed paper transport mechanism that enables it to handle media from 0.08mm up to 0.6mm, including pre-scored and pre-creased boards, without bending. Screen will also show a selection of labels produced by the Truepress Jet L350UV inkjet label printer which made its debut at Drupa 2012.

 

The Scodix S series of digital presses enable companies to add a wide range of enhancements to printed items, supporting job runs of any size, on a wide option of materials, both digital and offset.

 

Scodix Sense adds clear polymer to images in variable levels of thickness and texture of up to 250 microns, and with pinpoint accuracy, allowing for easy single or dual-sided printing. Scodix Rainbow prints glitter on selected areas and the recently launched Scodix Metallic enables the creation of metallic colors in a selective digital process.

 

The Highcon Euclid is the world’s first production speed digital cutting and creasing machine. Read more about the Highcon Euclid here.

With so many manufacturers offering a range of solutions for both commercial and packaging printers, the broader event focus provides an ideal platform to showcase their products to the widest range of visitors than ever before.’
