This is the first post in a series called “What would you do…” where we would like to gather the unique insights and thoughts of our customers, partners, and industry enthusiasts.
So…what would you do with a 5th toner station?
Would you use a clear toner for a spot varnish look and other effects?
Or perhaps add a mysterious and fun color from a Crayola Crayon box? (Periwinkle anyone?)
Would you go the route of dimensional printing for raised effects?
Or how about white for printing on dark-colored stocks?
Scratch and Sniff? Metallics?
Or maybe you want to put your company’s corporate color in there.
And once you chose your toner of choice, what would you print with it?
Let’s hear your thoughts! I know what mine are!
Known form Kodak I’d prefer first a solution for spot effects, matt or glossy.
Especially for smaller productions it’s a great opportunity for sale.
dimensional effects might be great too.
white is nice to have, but silver or gold might have a better standing in market.
Crayola Crayon is used more in the U.S., so no need in Europe.
All in all, pricing, usage and solutions must fit together, then I see a great opportunity in useage of a 5th. toner, more than just fill in Pantone colours in 😉
I would really like to see metallic too often we loose jobs because of a requirement for 8003 gold.
We use clear dry ink toners for total coverage high gloss, gloss effects, water marks, security features and dimensional digital print every day
