Upgrading Digital Color

The station can be also used for another Kodak innovation: new ClearDry Ink, which can put down a watermark or durability coat to allow the finished piece to withstand scuffing and abrasions. The most appealing use of the ClearDry Ink, Christopher says, is to flood coat a page with the clear ink (on top of the other printed colors) and then run it through the NexGlosser to create a gloss effect of near photographic quality on both sides of the sheet. Though this opens up great possibilities in photographic and other high-end applications, the functionality also has appeal to in-plants producing high-quality marketing materials. LSU plans to install one this month.
