Process Metallic Color System
Flexography
The Process Metallic Color System, is designed so nearly any flexo press can be used to produce striking metallic images, 250 NEW metallic colors and light changing special effects. Flexo presses can utilize the Color-Logic system in three manufacturing processes:
1) The Color-Logic Silver ink overprint with your regular CMYK process inks
2) Printing on a metallic substrate and using an opaque white ink with your regular CMYK inks
3) Printing onto a clear film and using a white ink plus your regular CMYK process inks (for the production of shrink sleeves or for laminating onto a metallic film).

Since we use only 5 colors in our system, no matter how many of our metallic colors or effects you choose, you can plan multiple SKUs onto one form and reduce your manufacturing costs.
The form to the left contains:
• 31 metallic colors
• 5 images containing Dimensional-FX
• 3 images containing Watermark-FX
• 7 images containing Gradation-FX
How would you print this without Color-Logic?

Color-Logic UV Flexo Silver ink* is formulated to be printed in line with your (CMYK) process inks. The only requirement is to run the Color-Logic Silver ink down first. Your process inks should be printed at your standard densities and anilox settings. You can now create 250 metallic colors with just one additional ink. By implementing the Process Metallic Color System you can provide designers and agencies with more metallics colors without the inventory problems of the past.
The two diagrams above show how the Process Metallic Color System works on both white substrates with silver ink (on the left) and on metallic substrates with white ink (on the right).
