ROCHESTER, NY – November 11, 2025 – Skandacor’s debut of the FINISHpro 3D 1623 at PRINTING United Expo 2025 made a lasting impression. The new digital embellishment press drew a steady crowd from the moment the doors opened, generating dozens of qualified leads and several sales right on the show floor.
From the moment doors opened, booth 2421 was packed. Attendees were eager to see the world’s first inkjet embellishment press priced under $55,000 in action, and the 1623 delivered. Live demonstrations showcased raised textures, dimensional spot UV, and digital foil accents on sheets up to 16x23 inches—producing stunning results.
“The energy around the 1623 was incredible,” said Brad Drever, CEO of Skandacor. “Printers couldn’t believe they could get this level of embellishment quality and precision at such an accessible price point. It really breaks the cost barrier that’s kept smaller shops from entering the spot UV embellishment space.”
Throughout the three-day event, Skandacor’s booth was featured as a must-see stop on the Embellishment Technology Tour, curated by Taktiful, which brought even more print professionals to experience the future of digital print enhancement.
Beyond the impressive output, visitors appreciated how seamlessly the 1623 integrates with other Skandacor finishing systems. Live demos highlighted how the device pairs with LAMpro laminators to incorporate specialty laminates and SLEEKpro foil accents, offering a complete, affordable embellishment workflow from start to finish.
“We saw so many print professionals light up when they realized how easily they could add 3D varnish, foil, and texture effects to their current workflow,” said Jon Congdon, President of Skandacor. “It wasn’t just the technology that excited people – it was the business potential.”
By the end of the show, the 1623 had not only generated strong sales but also reinforced Skandacor’s reputation as a leader in accessible finishing innovation.
“This machine is all about empowerment,” added Drever. “It gives smaller and mid-sized print shops the tools they need to compete with larger players and offer the kind of creative, high-margin work that wins customers.”
Skandacor’s success at PRINTING United underscores a growing demand for smarter, more flexible finishing solutions. The FINISHpro 3D 1623 proved that premium embellishment doesn’t have to come with a premium price tag—and the buzz it generated on the show floor made that message loud and clear.
