Output Guidelines

We periodically update and improve upon our test forms and demonstration filesIMPORTANT:
The normal process recommended by Color-Logic is to send a 5 color PDF to a high end RIP and then use that RIP to switch off the CMYK and output only the Color-Logic spot color (CL 4713 SILVER) by mapping it to the black ink/toner. That black printed separation would then be passed through the foiler. The final process would be to print the CMYK part of the PDF, by switching off the Color-Logic spot color at the RIP and printing only the color as a second pass of the press. If you cannot handle a 5 color PDF at the RIP, please see the videos below on how to process files using either PPDs or by separating the artwork into layers.
This first video demonstration is a quick start guide on:
How to output the Color-Logic Spot Colour (CL4713 SILVER) to be used for the Black/Foil plate and using a PPD for a CMYK device.

Download movie hereFX-ViewerWest Chester, Ohio, USA; June 2017--Color-Logic--the leader in metallic color communication and decorative effects--has partnered with Vivid Laminating Technologies--the leading European manufacturer of laminating equipment. As a result of the partnership, any color digital printer can now produce 250 different metallic colors from a single roll of foil, using the Color-Logic Design Suite and the award-winning Vivid Matrix Digital Foiling and Laminating System. Vivid offers both silver and rainbow holographic foils for this purpose.
Discussing the technique, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing Mark Geeves commented: "The partnership of Color-Logic and Vivid Laminating Technologies enables any CMYK digital printer to produce 250 different metallic foil hues and gradations with their existing inks and toners. The attention-commanding brilliance of conventional cold foil is enhanced by the many Color-Logic special effects available to designers, and the simplicity of the Vivid system makes digital foiling available to anyone with a digital printer. The key benefit of the Color-Logic and Vivid partnership lies in the ability of printers to produce higher margin products with their current equipment, as well as attracting profitable new customers." Vivid Laminating Technologies was voted 2016 Supplier of the Year by the British Association for Print and Communication. Vivid is the leading European designer and manufacturer of digital foiling and laminating systems, supplying to the printing industry for more than 30 years, and exporting to more than 50 countries worldwide.
