Scodix, a global leader in digital embellishment solutions, unveiled a significant software update that integrates Adobe PDF Print Engine into its Ultra 6500 SHD and Ultra 2500 SHD presses. Announced from its headquarters in Rosh Haayin, Israel, the update represents a significant leap forward in digital print production, promising faster processing, greater reliability, and improved compatibility across workflows. The move underscores Scodix’s strategy to pair its pioneering Smart High-Definition (SHD) and Multi-Layer Embellishment (MLE) technologies with the most advanced RIP solutions available.

Eli Grinberg, CEO of Scodix, emphasized the transformative nature of the update. “Our RIP update isn’t just about speed; it’s about providing the most robust, reliable, and future-proof digital enhancement solution,” he said. “The integration of Adobe’s flagship PDF Print Engine demonstrates our commitment to ensuring customers achieve the highest possible performance and print quality.” Early testing shows up to a 40 percent reduction in RIP processing time thanks to the engine’s parallel rendering architecture.

Adobe welcomed the collaboration, with Mike Scrutton, Director of Print Technologies and Strategy, highlighting the value for customers. “Scodix pioneered digital embellishment technologies that elevate print with stunning tactile and visual effects. By integrating Adobe PDF Print Engine, Scodix customers will gain the benefits of unmatched reliability, performance, and reproduction accuracy.” Already proven across commercial print, web-to-print, publishing, and packaging, Scodix’s Ultra series is now even more powerful with this integration, reinforcing the company’s leadership in premium digital enhancement solutions.
