Coronavirus Artwork files to print out
- The global coronavirus pandemic is impacting all of our families, businesses, and our very way of life. First and foremost, our hearts go out to anyone who's been impacted by the virus, either directly or indirectly. Our thoughts are especially with those who are sick, to whom we extend our heartfelt wishes for a full and speedy recovery. And we give thanks and praise to the dedicated healthcare workers around the world, working tirelessly around the clock to care for people in need. This is a time of transition that nobody was prepared for, but now is also a time to keep in contact with your clients, your family and your friends, and offer encouragement and support as we adjust to this new way of life.
Print is a powerful communication tool and this is why Color-Logic is providing print ready "Thank You" / "Thinking of You" cards, and safety posters to anyone who would like to print them out. These designs can be printed using either silver ink/toner and CMYK or white ink/toner and CMYK on a on a metallic substrate. All the embellishments have been added to the files so all you need to do is add your message of hope to the inside, and personalize the reverse with your company information.As a wise woman once said "not enough people send cards; or they wait too long to tell someone they were thinking of them" Mrs Bebe Geeves.
On behalf of Color-Logic, please feel free to produce these press-ready cards for your personal or company use. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all in these trying times, but together we will rise above.

Licensing
- Printers License
Color-Logic is the only commercially available color communication system for metallic substrates and metallic inks which takes into account the substrate, inks, press curves and coatings.
The Color-Logic system provides a color communication system for 250 new metallic colors, which in turn can producing eye catching decorative effects. Printers and converters are granted a license to produce their own Swatch Books (or Color Charts). This eliminates the need to match a generic purchased swatch book of metallic colors, printed under unknown conditions and generally with substrates and inks not applicable to the printing process of the printer!
Each color in the swatch book is replicated in to a digital swatch library that is imported in to the designers software (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign etc), along with a Photoshop plug-in that calculates the desired metallic effect for imagery. A designer then uses these palettes and plugins to design with, choosing metallic colors from the printers very own printed swatch book. Files designed with the Color-Logic system can then be visualized using the FX-Viewer software. For more information on the Color-Logic Design Suite, please click here.Licensing Options
Color-Logic Printer Licenses are available in three modules; Standard, Premium and Premium Plus.
A Standard Printer License is ideal for a small print shop or convertor that only needs to print and manufacture supplied files designed using Color-Logic. A Standard license also comes with one Design Suite & FX-Viewer, which enables the printer to convert designs in-house on behalf of their clients/designers. Additional single seat installs of the Design Suites & FX-Viewers are available for purchase.
The Premium and Premium Plus license modules are designed for the larger print shops that work at the brand or design level – each of the premium licenses comes with additional Design Suite & FX-Viewer CDs (Single Seat installs) that may be sold to designers. As an example, if a printer were to purchase the Premium Plus license, they would get ten copies of the Design Suite & FX-Viewer, which may be resold to designers for $799 per suite – this means that the printer can recoup $7999 back off the initial investment should all ten Design Suites be sold.The chart below highlights the main differences between each printer license, however if you would like to discuss licensing options with one of our representatives, please contact sales@color-logic.com
