Scodix E106 press provides digital enhancement solutions to folding carton converters requiring a B1 (1060 x 760mm or 41.7 x 29.9inch) format.
With a production capacity of up to 4,000SPH, the press provides improved short to medium run lengths for the customers in the printing industry.
According to the company, the press is provided with better features and functionality to support olding carton printers and converters.

“The business has to be cost effective, but print quality is equally important to us and our customers, Scodix technology opens up new possibilities for improvement in both facets.”
Scodix packaging head Nigel Tracey said: “Having installed over 300 Scodix presses during the last eight years, Scodix now has the right technology and format for folding carton enhancement, following five years of rigorous development and testing.”
