Print and embellish, all in a single pass

Special effect inks

KODAK ASCEND Digital Press’s 13 eco-friendly KODACHROME embellishment inks enable a spectrum of special effects - including opaque white, foil, antimicrobial dry ink, matte finishes and spot coating – offering the customer more customization and detailing than ever before.

Foil accuracy and detail

The KODAK ASCEND Digital Press's unique single-pass process eliminates the registration and trapping issues that can occur with multiple pass technologies resulting in higher productivity.

KODACHROME’s Foil Dry Ink allows greater detail than ever before.

If you can print it, now you can foil it.

Rock-solid reliability

The KODAK ASCEND Press’s robust, sheet-fed design can run packaging weight stocks up to 30 pt (.030), all day, every day, with no slow-down in press time and maximum reliability

Lower cost

Having just one press to handle both print and embellishment removes the need to set up multiple machines, reducing errors, press downtime and system bottlenecks.

INCREASE REVENUE

The KODAK ASCEND Digital Press delivers more profit per job across a wider range of applications by printing faster, with more detail and lower cost than UV flatbed devices. Increasing productivity through streamlining processes with one machine.

Obtain higher profit margins with easy-to-use inline digital embellishments and single pass flat foil that add eye-catching enhancements of the highest quality for any piece.

MORE OPPORTUNITIES

Create new market opportunities with the largest sheet size in the A3 market with 23% more print area than a B2 sheet, and heavier weighted stocks.
