Kodak Dimensional Printing uses Clear Dry Ink to create a clear “raised” layer on top of a page after fusing for a tactile effect similar to thermography. So far, the in-plant has been using it to great effect on the marketing materials, postcards, thank-you cards, sell sheets and Christmas cards it prints for Michigan Farm Bureau, the state’s largest general farm organization. And since some 20 percent of the shop’s business comes from outside the organization, this capability has opened up some good growth opportunities for the in-plant.
