Skandacor wrapped up a dynamic week at Dscoop Edge Rockies 2026, connecting with print service providers from across the globe and seeing firsthand the growing excitement around digital finishing—especially digital embellishment. As printers look for ways to differentiate and boost profitability, the appetite for premium applications is stronger than ever.
The event, held March 8–11 at the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center in Aurora, Colorado, brought together the worldwide Dscoop community to share ideas, explore new technology, and uncover fresh opportunities for growth in digital print.
Throughout the conference, Skandacor’s team engaged with attendees eager to enhance print value through finishing and specialty applications. One trend was clear: digital embellishment continues to gain momentum.
Skandacor saw sustained interest in the FINISHpro 3D 1623—our digital embellishment solution that delivers raised varnish and tactile effects. Conversations with print providers echoed a clear industry-wide trend: more and more printers are turning to embellishment to elevate their products and compete on more than just price.
“Across the show floor, we heard the same message from many printers,” said Brad Drever, Managing Director of Skandacor. “They’re looking for ways to add impact, increase perceived value, and create applications that stand out. Digital embellishment continues to gain traction as a way to do exactly that.”
The event highlighted the global reach of Dscoop’s community. Skandacor connected with visitors from Australia, New Zealand, South America, and beyond—showing just how international the demand is for finishing technologies that help print providers expand their capabilities.
Beyond embellishment, Skandacor also saw strong interest in laminators and digital die-cutting solutions. Print service providers are increasingly focused on bringing more finishing processes in-house to boost efficiency and expand their offerings.
“Events like Dscoop are invaluable because they bring the industry together around real conversations about growth,” Drever added. “From embellishment to packaging to finishing automation, the discussions this week showed how printers are actively exploring new ways to create value for their customers.”
With Dscoop Edge Rockies 2026 now concluded, Skandacor is continuing conversations with print providers interested in implementing finishing and embellishment solutions that support long-term growth and differentiation.
