The Ultra 7000 SHD allows high-definition tactile finishes to be applied directly to heavy-duty media, which Scodix says is “creating a new category” in digital print embellishment
Scodix, a manufacturer of digital print embellishment solutions, has announced the launch of its latest press, the Scodix Ultra 7000 SHD.
The Ultra 7000 SHD is engineered specifically for rigid and corrugated substrates, allowing for high-definition tactile finishes to be applied directly to heavy-duty media.
The new capability allows printers and converters to apply tactile effects to a diverse range of substrates including Dibond, acrylic, Forex, foam board, and corrugated board.
The launch of the press also marks a strategic expansion into the signage, display, and corrugated packaging sectors for Scodix.
Eli Grinberg, chief executive officer and co-founder of Scodix, says: "The Scodix Ultra 7000 SHD represents a definitive milestone in our mission to digitise embellishment for every segment of the print industry.
"We are creating a new category by bringing our smart high-definition (SHD) embellishment technology to rigid substrates and we are empowering printers to enter high-margin markets that were previously unreachable, proving once again that Scodix leads where others follow."
The U7000 SHD is compatible with all current Scodix-supported substrates including coated and uncoated sheets of diverse media weights.
Alongside the Scodix Ultra 7000 SHD, Scodix ihas announced a new software embellishment visualisation tool that allows users to generate realistic previews of how their embellishments will look and feel on a finished piece.
Moti Vaknin, vice president of sales for EMEA and global channels at Scodix, adds: "The feedback from our initial pipeline has been extraordinary.
“Wide-format producers and corrugated converters have been searching for a way to differentiate in a sea of flat colour printing. The Ultra 7000 SHD provides the 'wow factor' that brands crave, integrated into a digital workflow that meets the speed and agility requirements of the modern market."
Scodix will officially unveil the Ultra 7000 SHD at the co-located ‘Corrugated' event during FESPA Global Print Expo 2026, which takes place from May 19th to 22nd at the Fira de Barcelona in Spain.
The Scodix Ultra 7000 SHD is also available for immediate order in North America and EMEA, with global shipping schedules to follow.
