Dimensional printing gives specified text and images a raised or 3D effect, which can help communications stand out in a crowded marketplace. The result is a printed piece where images can have a dimensional feel that mimics the surface of the items in the image. For example, an image of an orange takes on the actual feel of a real orange. You can feel the texture of the orange peel, when you run your hand across the paper.
The Kodak Digital NEXPRESS creates a clear dimensional “raised” layer, on top of a page element that can be used to enhance graphics, text, or a full color image. Dimensional Printing takes place inline, maintaining press productivity while creating high-impact results.
The overall tactile effect is similar to relief printing, but with a greater degree of control. Dimensional Printing can be set to produce variable heights, so a user can more closely mimic the texture of a specific image. In contrast to thermography, which can only be applied to ink, NEXPRESS Dimensional Clear Dry Ink does not require ink or an image to adhere to the substrate.
Dimensional Coating does not require any special de-inking and uses no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) so you can produce prints that drive more profit per page and is still safe for our environment.
