<br/><br/>
SEE AND FEEL THE DIFFERENCE<br/><br/>
Dimensional printing brings your message to life.
The raised or 3D effect, creates a high impact tactile
and visual experience, separating your printed piece
apart from the crowd. Exclusive to Kodak NexPress,
the inline toner can be used as a 5th color on a
separate layer, giving you complete design and
control. It can also be used with variable data
printing.<br/><br/>
Unlike thermography, dimensional printing can be
set to produce variable heights that gives you more
creative freedom to enhance graphics, text, or full
color images. The dimensional toner can be applied
directly to the substrate and doesn't require special
paper. Being fully recyclable, the toner is safe and
eco friendly.<br/><br/>
Printing has never looked or felt like this.
