The aim of the partnership is the development of a digital foiling unit that will be robust, production savvy, support countless substrates and most popular foils, and will overcome all the time and waste issues inherent with current available systems. To be offered as Scodix Foil, the result of the collaboration between Scodix and Compact Foilers expertise and dedication to critically accurate registration and consistent reliability makes the relationship an ideal alliance, the company's said of the deal, which is effective immediately.

‘This agreement promises to expand our capabilities dramatically, offering our customers an additional range of effects on all types of substrates,’ said Scodix CTO and co-founder Eli Grinberg. ‘We have worked closely with the Compact Foiler team to integrate its technology into our process and the results are outstanding. Our collaboration has already produced an in-line digitized foiling solution that is unmatched in both production speeds and quality. This agreement aims to have many positive ramifications for both companies.’

Tim Self, director of Compact Foilers, added: ‘The new Scodix model performs well and we look forward to developing our relationship further as we enter the digital arena.’

Scodix, which already offers several digital print enhancement tools such as Scodix Sense, Scodix Spot, Scodix Glittering, Scodix VDP/VDE, Scodix Metallic, Scodix Braille and Scodix Barcode, will benefit from the agreement immediately and expects to exhibit a digital foiling module, which integrates Compact Foilers’ dedicated technology for the Scodix Ultra Pro press, at next month’s Graph Expo in Chicago.
