With Color-Logic, HP Mosaic Users Can Move into Metallic Variable Data Printing
West Chester, Ohio, USA; May 2021— Color-Logic has announced that licensed Color-Logic printers with HP Indigo cut sheet and digital label presses can now utilize their HP Mosaic software with Color-Logic Pattern-FX to automatically generate the white ink masks required to do variable data printing on metallic substrates. Discussing the capability, Color-Logic CoFounder and Chief Technical Officer Richard Ainge said: "At Color-Logic, we believe that All Print Starts With Design, and we have expanded the capability of HP Mosaic to permit using white ink on a metallic substrate not only to produce metallic colors but also for print embellishments and variable data work. Producing metallic colors and variable embellishments on metallic substrates requires a separate white ink mask for each unique page, and Color-Logic produces these automatically. Licensed Color-Logic printers can find detailed instructions for using Color-Logic with HP Mosaic inside the Color-Logic S.M.A.R.T Centre."

New Color-Logic Website Feature Compares Printed Designs With and Without Metallic Embellishments
10/05/21 11:06 Filed in: Color-Logic | Embellishments
West Chester, Ohio, USA; May 2021— A new section of the Color-Logic website uses several images and applications to illustrate the results of printing both with and without Color-Logic metallic embellishments. The feature--at https://www.color-logic.com/beforeandafter--shows how an image changes when Color-Logic metallic embellishments are added. These effects may be attained using virtually any popular printing process.
Discussing the new feature, Mark Geeves, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing, said: "The sample files demonstrate the value of print embellishments created with just one additional color on press. On conventional substrate, Color-Logic works with silver ink or toner and CMYK inks or toners. On metallic substrate, the Color-Logic process requires white ink or toner and CMYK inks or toners. The best way to visualize how Color-Logic affects design is to see the metallic image alongside its CMYK equivalent."
