Digitalpress were the first company in Australia to introduce digital raised printing. Thanks to Kodak's NexPress, this intelligent dimensional coating system creates raised printing for tactile effects.

Dimensional printing gives specified text and images a raised or 3D effect that results in the printed piece having a dimensional feel that mimics the surface of the items within the piece. This ultimately delivers higher impact to the printed product. For example, an image of an orange takes on the feel of a real orange.

Dimensional ink creates a clear raised layer on top of a page element and can be used to enhance graphics, text or a full-colour image. This process takes place in-line, maintaining press productivity while creating high-impact results.

The overall tactile effect is similar to traditional raised printing (thermography) but with a greater degree of control. In contrast to thermography, which can only be applied to ink, our technique does not require ink or an image to adhere to the stock. It can also be set to produce variable heights, so a user can more closely mimic the texture of a specific image.
