KODAK Dimensional Printing Proves a Commercial Hit with Fotlito73
ROCHESTER, N.Y.; , February 15 -- Italian prepress and digital print company Fotlito73 has created new commercial opportunities after adding KODAK Dimensional Printing to its KODAK NEXPRESS Digital Production Color Press. The Borghetto Lodigiano-based company installed the revolutionary solution when it upgraded from the NEXPRESS 2100 Plus to the NEXPRESS S2500 and purchased a second KODAK DIGIMASTER Printing System.
“As soon as we installed Dimensional Printing, we produced some samples and sent them to existing clients and prospects,” says Juri Ferrario, co-owner and marketing manager of Fotlito73. “The response was astonishing—some clients immediately postponed jobs so they could take advantage of the striking effects that can be achieved with Dimensional Printing.”
Fotlito73 uses digital presses to produce high-quality materials, direct mail, books, magazines, catalogues and transactional documents, and is always looking for new technologies that can set the company apart from its competitors. Fotlito73 was immediately won over by the potential of KODAK Dimensional Printing, and quickly added another fifth imaging unit solution to its NEXPRESS Press for gloss applications.
