Introducing the Visualis3R Layer Mapping Manager: Simplifying Global Print Embellishment Terminology

2026-04-09T14:29:03+01:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; April 2026 - Visualis3R, the innovative platform for digital print embellishments, has launched a comprehensive new feature addressing a common, yet seldom-discussed, real-world challenge: inconsistent naming conventions related to print embellishments. For example, what one designer calls “Spot UV” might be referred to as “Varnish,” “Lacquer,” or even “Lack." These variations—in both terminology and spelling—can create confusion and production errors if not handled correctly.

To solve this, Visualis3R includes a Layer Mapping Manager, a first-in-the-industry feature allowing users to map any incoming spot color, foil, varnish, or other finishing element, to the correct embellishment effect. Thus ensuring—regardless of the name the designer may have selected—consistency, accuracy, and flexibility across global workflows, without forcing designers into rigid naming standards. As embellishment standards are developed by the industry, any new standard terms can also be supported.

Explaining the Visualis3R Layer Mapping Manager, Mark Geeves, Director of Sales and Marketing for Color-Logic, the exclusive distributor of Visualis3R, said: “The many terms used in the industry to define colors and special embellishment finishes create confusion and inhibit the ability of designers to communicate their intent to personnel later in the print embellishment process. The Visualis3R Layer Mapping Manager now enables the designer to assign and document any name desired to a finish used in the embellishment process."

Geeves concluded: “Print embellishments are proven to increase engagement and perceived value in printed materials, but the workflows and terminologies to create embellishments are still in development. The new Visualis3R Label Mapping Manager provides a ready solution to the current confusion between graphic designer and printer prepress personnel. By using Visualis3R to define the terms used in developing embellishment files, much of that confusion is eliminated.”

West Chester, Ohio, USA; March 2026 - Color-Logic, the exclusive distributor of the innovative Visualis3R platform, has introduced a new educational video highlighting the seamless integration of Fujifilm Revoria Silver Toner using Visualis3R. This instructional resource, the Ink Trap Engine, enables graphic designers, brands, and printers to leverage metallic color visualization directly on their monitors, streamlining their workflow and reducing costly trial and error.

With the new video, users can accurately visualize metallic and reflective colors using Fujifilm Silver Toner with Fujifilm CMYK toners within the Visualis3R environment, enabling them to preview metallic colors before going to press. This advancement speeds up decision-making, improves communication between creative teams and production, and ultimately accelerates time to market.

Commenting on this development, Mark Geeves, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing, stated: “The Visualis3R Ink Trap Engine simulates how CMYK toners fuse and trap over metallic silver toners, accurately modeling real-world particle behavior, density, and color shift for press-accurate on-screen previews. Visualis3R integrates Fujifilm silver toner and CMYK toners, enabling users to see the true look of metallic colors early in the design process. This breakthrough capability reduces the need for multiple test sheets, saves valuable press time, and enhances overall print quality and consistency.”

Geeves added: “The ability to visualize metallic effects digitally offers a significant competitive advantage—leading to faster project turnarounds, reduced waste, and more precise color matching. Color-Logic is excited to provide this valuable resource and help customers maximize the potential of their digital printing workflows.”

2026-03-04T09:08:11+00:00

Available now in the Visualis3R Academy, this resource provides designers, agencies, brands, and printers with the knowledge to seamlessly incorporate Duplo Dusense spot UV coating into their digital files.

Commenting on the new video, Mark Geeves, Director of Sales and Marketing at Color-Logic, explained: “Tactile effects are a proven means of differentiating printed products. The Duplo Dusense system enables users to apply varying levels of spot UV varnish to highlight specific areas, creating striking, textured finishes. Our latest Visualis3R Duplo tutorial shows how to properly add the Duplo Dusense varnish into a file and how to utilize it within the Visualizer3R software. This process not only streamlines production but also reduces waste and helps control costs.”

Geeves added: “This educational video goes well beyond software instructions—it explains key terminology used in digital printing and then guides viewers through the entire process of incorporating Duplo Dusense varnish into their files, from start to finish. By clarifying these concepts, Visualis3R enhances communication between designers and printers, enabling them to create superior print effects.”

Geeves concluded: “Numerous studies have demonstrated the value of tactile embellishments in printed materials. This new Visualis3R Academy video not only demonstrates how to prepare files for Duplo Dusense spot UV coating but takes into account the paper, inks, and foils being. used. The Visualis3R shows how to visualize these effects in advance—saving valuable time, material, and resources during production.”

New Visualis3R Video Features Embossing and Debossing Tips for Designers and Printers

2026-02-26T09:36:57+00:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; February 2026 - Color-Logic, the exclusive distributor for Visualis3R, has announced the Visualis3R Embossing and Debossing module, a breakthrough tool that enables designers, agencies, brands, and printers to accurately visualize and plan embossing and debossing effects before production.

Commenting on the new video, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing Mark Geeves said: "Embossing and debossing are highly sought-after embellishment techniques that add tactile and visual impact to printed materials. Still, until now, graphic designers and printers have found it difficult to predict how these effects will appear on different substrates and designs. The Visualis3R embossing and debossing module removes this uncertainty by allowing users to preview the depth, dimension, and interaction of embossed and debossed elements directly within their design workflow."

Geeves continued: "The educational video, available now in the Visualis3R Academy, walks users through the module’s intuitive features and interface. It covers the fundamentals of embossing and debossing, showcases best practices for both digital and offset workflows, and demonstrates how the Visualis3R platform bridges the gap between designer intent and production reality. By understanding these effects in an interactive visual format, graphic designers and printers can communicate more effectively, reduce costly trial-and-error, and bring embellished products to market faster and more economically."

“Embossing and debossing are powerful tools that enable brands to create memorable printed pieces, but the lack of visualization often leads to guesswork and inefficiencies as they are produced,” said Geeves. “The new Visualis3R module provides users the ability to see and refine their embossing and debossing special effects before going to press, resulting in more predictable outcomes and faster time to market.”

New Visualis3R Academy Video Shows Subtle Differences in White Ink and Toner

2026-02-19T10:41:53+00:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; February 2026 - Color-Logic, the exclusive distributor for Visualis3R, has released a new Visualis3R educational video dedicated to the use of white ink and toner. This video, now available in the Visualis3R Academy, empowers designers, agencies, brands, and printers to make informed decisions about white ink application on colored stocks.

Discussing the new video, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing Mark Geeves said: "White inks and toners play critical roles in digital and offset printing, particularly when working with specialty substrates. Not all white inks and toners are created equal, however. Differences in opacity, coverage, and interaction with colored stocks can dramatically affect the final result. Our new Visualis3R white ink video enables users to visualize exactly how many hits of white ink will be required to achieve the desired effect on a wide range of colored materials. This capability not only saves valuable production time, but also minimizes waste and optimizes costs."

Geeves continued: "The new educational Visualis3R video goes beyond software features, delving into the terminology used in digital printing. It clarifies the often-confusing differences between “hits” and “repetitions”—terms used by various digital press manufacturers to describe the process of laying down multiple layers of white ink or toner. By demystifying these concepts, Visualis3R helps designers and printers communicate more effectively and achieve superior print results."

Geeves concludes: “White ink is a complex and often misunderstood element in print embellishment. With the Visualis3R white ink module and our new educational video, designers and printers can now predict, visualize, and accurately plan for the use of white ink—regardless of substrate color or press manufacturer.”

Print Embellishment with a Digital Press: What You Should Know

2025-03-31T09:43:28+01:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; March 2025 - As the world of printing continues to evolve, print embellishment is rapidly becoming the buzzword captivating many in the industry. For the past 16 years, Color-Logic has positioned itself as a leader in print embellishment software solutions, providing printers and designers with the tools they need to stand out in a competitive market.

Print embellishments can range from simple additions, such as specialty inks or clear varnishes, to more complex techniques involving silver ink/toner as an underlay to CMYK on paper or white ink/toner as an underlay to CMYK on metallic stocks. These advanced techniques can dramatically transform the look and feel of printed materials, making them more appealing to clients and consumers alike.

To support printers and designers seeking to harness the full potential of their 5th or 6th color digital presses, Color-Logic has developed the QuickStart landing page. This resource is designed for anyone seeking to explore or utilize existing embellishment techniques, offering insights into what Color-Logic solutions provide in the print embellishment landscape.

"All Print Starts With Design" has been the guiding Color-Logic mantra for more than a decade, emphasizing that no press can deliver quality results without a solid design foundation. Designers need to understand the capabilities of the press on which their work will be produced, as well as the design techniques which will produce stunning effects. The Color-Logic QuickStart page not only showcases these capabilities but also educates designers on how to create effective files for metallic printing.

One of the standout features of the Color-Logic QuickStart page is the Test Form File, which any printer can use to test their press. This form demonstrates 21 of the Color-Logic 924 metallic colors, and showcases various embellishments, including Gradation-FX, Dimensional-FX, Watermark-FX, Image-FX, and Pattern-FX. Each embellishment is accompanied by QR codes that link to tutorials on how they are created using Adobe Creative Cloud.

Color-Logic is committed to providing a predictable system for printers, complete with design tools, training, and educational resources that licensed printers can share with their internal teams, external designers, agencies, and brand clients. The Color-Logic QuickStart page is a vital tool enabling printers to visually grasp what their press can achieve, while also demonstrating how quickly effects can be implemented, thus ensuring the designer's original intent remains intact.

Although videos showcasing physical samples are abundant online, few address the time, effort, and trials involved in achieving those results. The Color-Logic QuickStart landing page seeks to change this dynamic by offering not just Test Form files for printing, but also instructional videos that illustrate how Color-Logic tools operate, including a demonstration of our FX-Viewer. This innovative feature allows designers to visualize effects on their monitors before committing to print, eliminating trial-and-error and saving valuable press time.

Once you've printed the Test Form, we encourage you to consult with your press manufacturer or dealer to explore how they would replicate these effects without the Color-Logic system. Although print embellishments can be highly profitable, a comprehensive understanding of design time, proofing processes, color palette creation, and the integration of metallics into images is essential to maximize the investment.

At Color-Logic, we believe in a "show what is possible and how it was done" philosophy, which is why we've created the QuickStart page. We invite you to contact us for assistance in developing your marketing strategy for entering the dynamic world of print embellishments.

Color-Logic and Touch7 Collaborate on Graphic Design USA Magazine Contest Winner

2025-02-03T09:27:06+00:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; January 2025 - When Frank Paganucci—the creative director of Paganucci Design in New York City—needed inspiration in preparing the brochure and rollout materials for introduction of the new Sharp Color Printing Systems press at Printing United Las Vegas late in 2024, he logically looked to the new press and the tools delivered as standard software with it. Sharp wisely elected to include the Color-Logic Metallic Color System and the Touch7 Color System with every SHARP BP-1200S digital press, so Paganucci used the popular color embellishment tools to prepare collateral material for the press. His efforts and the resulting Sharp brochure were recognized by Graphic Design USA Magazine as a 2024 American Graphic Design Award Winner. Discussing the honor, Paganucci said: "This project was an exciting opportunity to help Sharp showcase their innovative 6-color printing technology, which enhances traditional 4-color files with vibrant hot pink and silver toners. The design incorporated bold graphics, custom and technical illustrations, and a layout that seamlessly highlights the machine's unrivaled capabilities. Color-Logic and Touch7 personnel assisted our efforts in using these exciting new tools."

Discussing the Graphic Design USA award, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing Mark Geeves said: "Since Color-Logic and Touch7 are standard software in every new Sharp 6-color press shipped, new Sharp press owners can immediately offer their customers brilliant metallic colors with embellishments and fluorescent colors in their designs. Sharp's election to utilize Color-Logic metallic and Touch7 systems into their product brochure is a great show of 'practice what you preach'—or, in this case, 'practice what you are selling.' Much of print is forgettable, but the Sharp/Color-Logic partnership and this award are great examples of how embellishment can enable printers to make a client's collateral material stand out from the competition."

West Chester, Ohio, USA; August 2023—White is the New Gold!™ -- the latest slogan from Color-Logic -- offers profound implications for several members of the printing community.

Here are some examples:"

"For Printers: White inks and /toners, in combination with the Color-Logic system, enable printers to produce Color-Logic embellishments in a single pass of their press, with no post-finishing required.

"For Graphic Designers: With Color-Logic, designers need not worry about creating a white ink mask, since the Color-Logic system automatically generates the white ink separation at the RIP, eliminating the need for prepress personnel to create time-consuming complex white ink masks. With Color-Logic and Adobe Creative Cloud, designing with white on the press is effortless and foolproof.

"For Brands or Marketers: White inks and toners on metallic stock bring a WOW factor to direct mail, packaging, labels, signage, and point-of-purchase material. With Color-Logic, metallic special effects are economical and time-to-market is dramatically reduced. Specifying a Color-Logic licensed printer makes marketing sense.

RIP Developers Recognize Color-Logic Importance

2022-09-22T12:18:47+01:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; September 2022—The importance and utility of Color-Logic in the printing industry is widely recognized by RIP (Raster Image Processor) developers as the preferred method of producing metallic images and special effects. Discussing the matter, Mark Geeves, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing, said: "In digital printing, a RIP serves as the interface between the Digital Front End (DFE) and the print engine. Because of differences in print engines and DFEs, each digital press installation needs a RIP that has been specifically tailored to connect between the DFE and print engine being used. As of mid-2022, specific features have been made available by almost all RIP manufacturers to enable printers to use Color-Logic in their workflows. The fact that these RIP developers have made Color-Logic available to users of nearly every digital press and printer manufacturer worldwide speaks to the widespread popularity of the Color-Logic metallic color system."

Geeves continued: "The RIP developers providing a specific connection for the Color-Logic system now include Caldera, CGS, ColorGate, Compose, EFI, Ergosoft, Equios, Global Graphics, GMG, Heidelberg Versafire, Onyx, RTI-RIPs, SAI, Wasatch, and Xitron. All of these manufacturers offer Color-Logic connectivity to most of the digital presses and printers around the world. Color-Logic works closely with these and other manufacturers providing equipment capable of printing metallics using silver inks or toners on conventional substrates as well as those producing images with white ink or toner on metallic substrates. More than 75 digital presses and printers worldwide use Color-Logic to produce the sparkling metallics so popular with brands and commercial customers."

Color-Logic Partners to Feature Metallics at Autumn North American Shows

2022-08-15T09:09:07+01:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; August 2022—Print embellishment is difficult to explain. Even printers often grapple with the many print embellishment techniques and processes available. But now, brands, agencies, and graphic designers need to understand the value of print embellishments in the markets they serve. As a result, print trade shows, industry conferences, and user groups are reaching out to brands, agencies, and graphic designers—as well as the printers that serve them—offering the opportunity to see, touch, and even smell what print can offer, from conventional products to direct mail, signage, and packaging.

The need for ICC color management to get corporate colors right remains important, but with print embellishment the critical area now includes design as well as production. For this reason, Color-Logic partners with press and printer manufacturers, as well as those who offer paper, coatings, and post-press finishing equipment. These manufacturers show Color-Logic files at trade shows and conferences because Color-Logic would never be able to afford a booth of the size and complexity necessary to demonstrate all the possibilities of the Color-Logic process. At shows to be held later this year, Color-Logic capability will we demonstrated by a number of Color-Logic partners.

At Americas Print Show 22 in Columbus, Ohio, 17-19 August 2022, Color-Logic partner DPS (Digital Print Solutions) will show Color-Logic metallics produced on the Ricoh Pro 7200 series press and Ricoh large-format UV inkjet printers. Also at the Columbus show, Screen will demonstrate Color-Logic capability on Screen presses.

At Labelexpo Americas 2022 in Chicago, Illinois, 13-15 September 2022, Color-Logic partners exhibiting include HP Indigo, Domino, Mark Andy, Screen, and Xeikon. These partners will show metallic labels and related products to the label industry and consumer product companies utilizing metallics as a means of calling attention to products on the shelf.

Finally, at Printing United Expo in Las Vegas, 19-21 October 2022, Color-Logic partners include Canon, FujiFilm, Heidelberg, Kelly Spicers, Ricoh, Skandacor, Screen, and swissQprint. This show will provide printers and sign makers the opportunity to see Color-Logic special effects produced using a wide variety of printing presses and on an amazing array of substrates.

Discussing the display of metallics and embellishments, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing Mark Geeves said: "Color-Logic has become the standard solution for metallic printing, regardless of the printing process or substrate selected. Brands and corporate marketing personnel are specifying Color-Logic in more and more applications every day. The North American printing exhibitions this year offer myriad opportunities to learn just how simple, consistent, and reproducible metallics have become."

Digital Press Manufacturers and their Buyers Rely on Color-Logic for Metallics

2022-08-01T08:34:41+01:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; August 2022—As printers around the world continue to add digital presses and printers to their stables of printing solutions, Color-Logic stands out as the odds-on choice for metallics. To date, more than 70 digital press and printer models using metallic and white inks or toners to print on paper--or white inks or toners to print on metallic substrate--have been certified by Color-Logic. Buyers of these machines can be confident their purchases can take complete advantage of all 924 Color-Logic metallic hues and all Color-Logic embellishments. Commenting on the Color-Logic certification program, Mark Geeves, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing, said: "On the Color-Logic website we maintain a list of press and printer manufacturer partners that enables potential digital press and printer buyers to determine whether Color-Logic has certified the machine they may be considering. Digital press and printer manufacturers with Color-Logic-certified models include Agfa, Canon, Domino, Durst, EFI. Fujifilm, Gallus, HP Indigo, Heidelberg, Konica-Minolta, Mark Andy, Mimaki, Mutoh, Nilpeter, Roland DG, Ricoh, Screen, swissQprint, Xeikon, and Xerox. The fact that virtually every digital press and printer manufacturer choses to work with Color-Logic signals the wide-spread acceptance and need for Color-Logic software to enable successful metallic color communication and the creation of print embellishments."

Geeves continued: "Most certification processes in the print industry focus on quality, reproducibility, and repeatability--all very important to our process. Unlike other certifications, however, the Color-Logic certification is about the ability of the printer or press--based on the substrate, inks and coatings used, as well as press conditions--to produce metallic embellishments for the 924 Color-Logic metallic hues. We focus on how to differentiate print; our color charts and test form--consisting of three 12-inch by 18-inch sheets, or 10 feet of a web roll of paper--seek to demonstrate to brands, agencies, and printers what can be done at the design stage using the Color-Logic plug-ins and palettes for Adobe Creative Cloud. The world today is about differentiation and personalization. Our efforts with our press and printer manufacturer partners are focused on helping our printer customers achieve differentiation and personalization for their brand clients in significantly less time and with less pressroom waste than is possible without Color-Logic today."

First Color-Logic Certified Fujifilm Revoria Digital Press User Utilizes Perpetual License

2022-07-25T10:15:21+01:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; July 2022—Color-Logic has announced the first customer certification of the new Fujifilm Revoria Model PC1120 Digital Press, at Same Day Printing in Melbourne, Australia. Discussing the certification, Mark Geeves, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing, said: "Same Day Printing--a Color-Logic licensee since 2019--was able to implement their existing Color-Logic license on their new Fujifilm Revoria at no charge. The Color-Logic license is for a site, not for a given term or a specific press or process, which now allows Same Day Press to use, without additional cost, the Color-Logic metallic printing system with their new Fujifilm Revoria as well as their previous Ricoh press."

Continuing his discussion, Geeves said: "Same Day Printing is just another example of how process-agnostic the Color-Logic process is. Not only can Color-Logic licensees use the system with all the digital presses at a site, but with lithographic, flexographic, and other processes as well--with a single perpetual site license. Users consistently tell us they are amazed at all the different press models and processes they can use to create sparkling metallics with Color-Logic. This feature is particularly valuable as brands extend their unique packaging and collateral material without the need to work with several printers."

2022-05-25T13:46:37+01:00

Fujifilm Official Press Release; May 2022

Fujifilm announces agreement with Color-Logic Inc to sell the world’s leading software solution for printed metallic effects
The agreement follows the certification of the new Fujifilm Revoria Press PC1120 for the printing of Color-Logic metallic colors and embellishments

Fujifilm today announces an agreement with Color-Logic to sell its solution for producing metallic effects, using either digital toner or analogue printing processes. Whether using silver ink or toner on a white substrate, or printing with white ink or toner on a metallic substrate, the Color-Logic System™ is the world’s first colour communication system that takes into account the printing device, inks, press profile and coatings unique to the printer. At the same time, it also provides designers, brands, printers and convertors with an accurate colour communication and print embellishment system to work from.

Fujifilm’s Revoria Press PC1120 is fully certified to print using the Color-Logic system for metallic colors and embellishments, whether using silver ink with CMYK on paper; or white ink with CMYK on metallic stock.

Richard Ainge, Color-Logic CTO and a founder of the company said:

"The color gamut and print quality off the press was excellent. Color-Logic is delighted to partner with Fujifilm to bring print embellishment to its clients."

Fujifilm will also be making the Color-Logic system available with other Fujifilm print and packaging technologies – both analogue and digital.

Manuel Schrutt, Head of Packaging, Fujifilm EMEA comments:

“Fujifilm offset, flexo and digital technologies already enable customers to print a wide range of striking metallic effects – either through the use of metallic inks or by using white inks on metallic substrates. But with the Color-Logic System, customers can now also create a pre-defined palette of metallic colours that can be installed into Adobe design apps. They then have the ability to print these palettes as colour charts or swatch books, on their own press, to then give to their clients. This enables a 100% reliable colour communication system for metallics which runs from the design stage of the process through to the printing itself.

“We’re delighted to be working with the clear technology leader in this field and providing our customers with yet more flexibility and opportunity.”

Perhaps even more important, digital press owners no longer need to waste precious production time swapping out silver ink or toner to run gold."

Color-Logic Enables Digital Variable Metallic Data Printing Using Adobe InDesign

2021-10-25T09:07:26+01:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; October 2021— Designing for digital printing is fast becoming a critical issue for agencies and freelance graphic designers. The ability of digital processes to support variable data printing means that designers for both commercial printing and packaging must learn how to handle the complex files involved. Add metallic printing to the equation, and many designers become overwhelmed with preparing the necessary white ink masks, as well as the peculiarities of merging databases with otherwise simple print files. To address these issues and to vastly simplify the graphic design work involved, Color-Logic has prepared a detailed tutorial specifically detailing the steps involved, using the Color-Logic software with Adobe InDesign to produce print files guaranteed to clear all the hurdles presented by digital presses.

Variable data printing on digital platforms is nothing new, but Color-Logic brings an entirely new dimension when digitally printing on metallic substrates with white ink or toners for commercial print applications. Digital printing with white ink or toner on metallic stocks requires designers to make a white ink mask. If any change is made to an element, font, or image, a new white ink mask is required unless the designer is using Color-Logic. By using Color-Logic at the design stage with the digital output on metallic stock, a design can include variable foil colors and embellishments in fonts, elements, or images. Coupons, magazine covers, wedding invitations, greeting cards, posters, and tags are just a few of the applications appropriate for variable data metallic digital printing.

Adobe InDesign now has variable data support built in, so by using InDesign with the Color-Logic Design Suite, any designer can easily add metallic variable data into their clients' printed marketing pieces by using a licensed and certified Color-Logic printer. To demonstrate the ease and strength of the Color-Logic/Adobe InDesign combination, Color-Logic has released a short video explaining how digital metallic variable data printing can be used to create a striking magazine cover. The video can be seen at here. The Color-Logic system is compatible with most major digital cut sheet pressed (HP Indigo, Ricoh, Xeikon, and Xerox) with white ink and a RIP compatible with Color-Logic.

Discussing the Color-Logic/Adobe InDesign breakthrough, Mark Geeves, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing, said; "Many industry reports attest to the value of variable data printing and metallics as relates to quality and consumer appeal. The 280 Color-Logic metallic colors and unlimited embellishments, together with Adobe Indesign, is a game-changer that drives up response rates for all commercial print applications."

Color-Logic Adds 30 New Metallic Gold Colors

2021-06-03T09:10:40+01:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; June 2021— Color-Logic—the leader in metallic color communication and print embellishments—has more than doubled the number of metallic gold colors available to Color-Logic licensees. The 30 new metallic gold colors, together with the 25 gold colors previously included with the Color-Logic System, enable licensed Color-Logic printers to provide their clients with 55 unique metallic gold colors by utilizing only one metallic silver ink, toner, or substrate. The 30 new metallic gold colors bring the total number of Color-Logic metallic colors to 280. No longer is it necessary to stock gold inks or substrates, or to match golds using trial and error.

Discussing the issues facing printers using silver or gold in their digital presses (or considering one of the new digital presses offering a fifth-color station for metallic inks or toners) Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing Mark Geeves commented: “Manufacturers of digital presses are beginning to offer silver and gold inks and toners to complement traditional CMYK inks and toners. But without Color-Logic, digital printers are limited to a single gold color, while Color-Logic licensees can offer their customers 55 different gold options. And these golds can not only be used as spot colors in designs, but in the many embellishment options offered by Color-Logic as well. Digital press owners using the Color-Logic System no longer need to waste precious production time swapping out silver ink or toner to run gold."

Regarding the importance of the announcement to printers using cut sheet metallic substrate in digital presses, or rolls of metallic substrate in wide format printers, Geeves said: "Color-Logic automatically produces the white ink masks required for printing on metallic substrates. The availability of 55 predictable and reproducible metallic gold colors significantly reduces file preparation time and eliminates frustrating and repetitive on-press color matching.”

Color-Logic licensees may produce their own swatch books, using their substrates, press standards, inks, and coatings. The print embellishments offered by licensed Color-Logic printers enable internal or external graphic designers to dazzle clients with metallic colors. The dramatization and personalization options available with the Color-Logic System provide the most economical and most easily implemented embellishments available to printers.

2021-05-19T08:57:33+01:00

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.

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

2021-05-10T11:06:22+01:00

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."

2021-04-21T09:16:54+01:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; April 2021— Color-Logic CoFounder and CTO, Richard Ainge, who also developed the Touch7 Neon process, recently briefed PRO Members of PaperSpecs on the power of the new fluorescent inks available on the latest digital presses. Said Ainge regarding the briefing: "Touch7 was developed five years ago for conventional and digital presses, but as more digital presses with fluorescent inks become available, graphic designers often find themselves unclear about the potential and the pitfalls of fluorescents. We provided the PaperSpecs PRO Members with an overview of color gamut expansion, the various print engines available, and the design software now on the market. OEM color guides available from press manufacturers were also described."

PaperSpecs Founder and CEO Sabine Lenz, commenting on the briefing, said: "PaperSpecs PRO members were entranced by the presentation, and suggested that material from the Color-Logic fluorescents briefing should be part of every design school curriculum." Said one audience participant: "I gained a significantly deeper understanding of the technical side of fluorescent design and how to enhance color intensity."

PaperSpecs is a a one-stop resource for print creatives--a place where like-minded graphic designers can hang out, ask questions, get tips, gain insights, and access the latest swatchbooks and promotions.

Color-Logic Simplifies MetallicVariable Data Printing

2021-04-14T09:00:50+01:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; April 2021— Digital printing is rapidly gaining market share around the world--often because digital presses can easily print variable data. Many printers choose digital presses because of their ability to easily print variable data. And now, with Color-Logic, the variable data benefits of the latest presses are available when printing with white ink or toner on a metallic stock.

Commenting on the use of white ink on metallic substrate, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing Mark Geeves said: "Working with white ink or toner on a metallic substrate requires that the graphic designer or prepress operator prepare a white ink mask as part of the digital file set. With digital variable data printing, each page requires a unique white ink mask. Except with Color-Logic! The proprietary Color-Logic software automatically creates each different white ink mask, eliminating the extra labor, and making the labor cost of variable data printing on metallic substrate no more expensive than on conventional substrate."

Discussing the financial implications for digital printers, Geeves continued: "When used to prepare files for printing variable data jobs on digital presses, Color-Logic is a real game changer. Metallic variable data printing on presses with white ink/toner and a RIP that supports the Color-Logic file format opens up an entirely new value proposition for licensed Color-Logic printers and their clients. To assist current Color-Logic technology partners and dealers, we recently developed a video showing how it quickly and easily metallic variable data files can be prepared using Adobe Illustrator and the Color-Logic design suite palettes. We make available the artwork and sample data sets so Color-Logic licensees can produce the files themselves to show their clients."

UK Magazine Print Solutions Becomes Pink Solutions with Help From Color-Logic Touch7 and Xerox

2021-03-22T09:06:57+00:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; March 2021— When the editor of UK printing industry magazine Print Solutions decided to devote the March 2021 issue to the fluorescent and neon inks available in the latest digital print engines, the Xerox Iridesse press, with its pink fluorescent dry ink, was called upon to print the front and back covers of the magazine--dubbed Pink Solutions for just this issue. The magazine cover, in striking pink tones, was printed on the Xerox Iridesse by adding fluorescent pink to the cover image and using Color-Logic Touch7 software to create the print files. To ensure the magazine cover would emphasize the fluorescent pink components of the stock image selected, Touch7 software was used to add the pink into the front cover image without the need to create an elaborate mask. The back cover of the magazine was used to demonstrate the versatility of Xerox dry pink ink with the Touch7 system by adding pink into parts of the image and extending the color gamut of the file, with the dry pink ink printed atop the CMY inks to create incredible orange colors and gradations.

Discussing the use of Touch7 with the Xerox Iridesse, Richard Ainge, Color-Logic CTO and developer of Touch7, said: "Traditionally, adding fluorescent pink to an image would require the time-consuming task of making a mask. The more intricate the image, the more difficult that becomes. And even once the mask is available, adding pink to the image necessitates removing C, M, or Y colors to get the exact tonal effect desired. Even for an experienced Photoshop operator, these are not simple tasks. With just a few clicks of the mouse, however, Touch7 compensates for the addition of the pink and prepares the proper separations automatically."

Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing Mark Geeves, also commenting on the project, said: "In today's fast-turnaround print market, the time required to properly prepare images for print can easily spell the difference between profit and loss for the press owner. Touch7 takes the guesswork out of file preparation involving the fifth colors available on the latest equipment. Without Touch7, designing with fluorescent inks often becomes prohibitively expensive."

Color-Logic Certifies Two New HP Latex Printers

2021-03-15T09:43:48+00:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; March 2021— Color-Logic has announced its certification of two new Latex printers being offered by HP. Commenting on the certification, Mark Geeves, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing, said: "The HP Latex 700 W and 800 W--two machines with the white ink necessary for producing Color-Logic metallics--provide a ready solution for customers interested in using metallic substrates on the latest, printer with water-based ink available."

Geeves continues: "The HP Latex 700 W and 800 W printers produced outstanding Color-Logic certification test sheets, and are appropriate for label and package proofing, as well as short-run production of these items, signage, and point-of-sales materials. The white ink available on these new machines when using metallic substrate enables users to create incredible embellishments particularly appropriate for higher margin and higher value applications. Unlike most print, that produced with the combination of Color-Logic and HP White Latex inks is truly unforgettable."

Touch7 Neon Color Guides Used to Digitally Print 2021 Fedrigoni 365 Calendar Vector Art

2021-03-10T14:02:59+00:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; March 2021— Each year, Italian paper manufacturer Fedrigoni produces a 365-page calendar showcasing the work of UK designers on Fedrigoni papers. The 2021 calendar--a collaboration of Fedrigoni, London agency TM Media, and Ricoh--drew on the talents of nearly 1000 UK designers. To fully demonstrate the variability of digital printing, no two of the 4000 calendars produced are alike. To also demonstrate the capability of the Ricoh press on which the calendars were printed, each 2021 calendar page uses a fifth color. Because the Ricoh press features neon yellow and neon pink inks, TM Media used Touch7 Neon color guides to create individual page files and to specify how each was to be printed. Discussing the process, Color-Logic CTO Richard Ainge, who developed the Touch7 process, commented: "One of the first steps in design is choosing what colors to use. When Fedrigoni elected to use the Ricoh digital press with neon pink and neon yellow, they learned about the Touch7 Neon system. The Touch7 color guides used for the project were printed under license by Ricoh Europe, and demonstrated to Fedrigoni and TM Media the more than 1500 colors they could possibly use. The Touch7 Neon system not only enabled the production of colors the world had never seen before, but created blends of those neon colors in seconds."

New Touch7 Neon Color Guides Simplify Use of Neon Inks in Digital Printers

2021-03-03T09:34:03+00:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; March 2021— New Touch7 Neon Color Guides are now available that simplify use by graphic designers of the neon and fluorescent inks being offered by various print engine manufacturers. Until now, graphic designers preparing files for use with the new neon inks have been confined to commercially available guides that were produced using offset lithography. When designers attempt to use these analog color guides in digital print, however, the resulting print is often disappointing. This means lengthy trial-and-error procedures when attempting to design for the latest digital print engines. Because inks vary among print engine manufacturers, theTouch7 Color Guides are produced and sold only by the printer manufacturers, for use only with their machines. Discussing the new Touch7 Neon Color Guides, Richard Ainge, developer of the Touch7 process, said: "Touch7 Neon Color Guides are printed by Color-Logic partners that manufacture digital print engines, and thus reflect exactly what can be expected when using the substrate on which the guide was printed. Graphic designers will be amazed at the time savings and predictability of their work when using the Touch7 software to prepare files for print. Their print customers will be equally amazed at the astounding color enhancements possible. The first Touch7 Neon Color Guides available are for pink and yellow neon and fluorescent colors on their digital presses. Touch7 provides print engine manufacturers with 760 colors for each neon color, in addition to the standard CMYK ink sets available. Touch7 Neon Color Guides help printers demonstrate and communicate to graphic designers the extended gamut of colors as well as the delicate pastels possible on digital presses, without the difficulty of trying to match colors seen in an offset-produced guide."

New Color-Logic Pattern-FX Release Adds 30,000+ Options to Graphic Design

2021-03-01T13:38:44+00:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; March 2021— Volume 5 of the Color-Logic Pattern-FX Illustrator palette is now available for purchase by licensed Color-Logic Printers and Graphic Designers. Discussing the new release, Richard Ainge, Color-Logic CTO and cofounder, commented: "Volume 5 of our Pattern-FX suite is complete with 20 seamless patterns, each with six prebuilt embellishments. When used with any of the 250 Color-Logic metallic colors, that means licensed Color-Logic graphic designers and printers can offer clients 30,000 different options for print embellishments. And, since Pattern-FX patterns are seamless and may be gradated within each Color-Logic metallic color, the options are literally infinite."

Ainge continues: "In today's conventional and digital print markets, print embellishment is very popular. The market response to Pattern-FX volumes 1 through 4 has been incredible. The speed and predictability of the Color-Logic patterns provide prepress personnel and graphic designers with a huge benefit, particularly for digital print, where time-to-market is often critical. At Color-Logic, we believe that All Print Starts with Design, and empowering designers with software tools and education provides them with a distinct competitive edge."

2021-02-01T11:09:23+00:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; February 2021— Color-Logic has announced its certification of three substrates from the Centura Collection manufactured by Slater Harrison & Co Ltd of Bollington Macclesfield, Cheshire, England. Commenting on the certification, Richard Ainge, Color-Logic CTO and CoFounder, said: "The Slater Harrison CenturaPearl Snow White substrate and two weights of the Slater Harrison CenturaReflect Argent substrate provide attractive and cost-effective alternatives to the metalized polyester substrates often used for luxury packaging.

Color-Logic metallics were an important service used to open doors and demonstrate company capabilities. The case study is available by request from Tactive and may be downloaded from the Color-Logic website"

Discussing the Relaunch program, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing Mark Geeves, said: "When the COVID-19 Outbreak began, Color-Logic immediately focused on what printers would need when markets began reopening. The Color-Logic customer base is global and we serve markets ranging from packaging and label, commercial print, point-of-purchase, signage, and direct mail. Our diverse customer base means we must consider geographic location and target markets when seeking to support our clients. Accordingly, we broke our Relaunch 202One program into 3 stages--much like the May 2020 Spacex launch. The Color-Logic Relaunch is not just about getting off the ground, but about getting where you want to go and the ability to land on target. At Color-Logic, we seek to help our clients not just in 2020, but in 2021, when it will be necessary to reach out to new clients and to reengage current clients.

"Stage 1 of the Color-Logic 202One Relaunch is the ignition stage, and features improved training for graphic designers and prepress personnel. The Color-Logic motto: All Print Starts With Design. speaks to the fact that our core focus is to develop design tools permitting any graphic designer to enhance their designs with the Color-Logic embellishments and metallic color system. While COVID-19 continues, the Color-Logic self-paced online training videos and our new master class videos show our licensees how to work effectively with agencies, graphic designers, and brands around the world.

"Stage 2 of the Color-Logic 202One Relaunch is our booster stage, and focuses on content. Since potential customers cannot know what is possible in print without seeing actual samples, Color-Logic has 35 new designs. Thus licensed printers now have 100 press-ready marketing files for virtually every application we support. Before COVID-19, most printers had neither the time nor resources to create their own marketing files, so this part of our license provides the door opener necessary to reach out to prospects with physical samples.

"Stage 3 of the Color-Logic 202One Relaunch is our Payload stage. Color-Logic now provides licensed printers enrolled in our SMART Program with a free Color-Logic Design Suite, FX-Viewer, and Pattern-FX single seat license valued at US$1050. This software package may be given by a Color-Logic licensee to an external client, which makes it much easier for the licensee to land a new account, agency, brand, or graphic designer and drive more business to their press.

"Although 2020 has been a worldwide challenge, print is not about to vanish. Surviving in the new environment, however, means pivoting, reopening, restructuring, or relaunching. The need to differentiate and to stand out will not vanish, and the technologies available today makes the Color-Logic staff optimistic about our future and our ability to deliver our clients the software, training, education, and consulting to make a difference in the print marketplace."

West Chester, Ohio, USA; September 2020— Chongolove, a new company offering a free app enabling users to make and deliver custom videos, chose Color-Logic metallic embellishments to enhance their product.

Chongolove stickers are sold on the Amazon website in sets of three for less than US$7; the app is free.

Armand Dieng, Chongolove Founder/President, discussing the product design, said: "We were looking for a sticker design that would be strikingly different and call attention to our unique video concept. When we visited the HP Indigo Atlanta demonstration center and they suggested Color-Logic metallics, we immediately knew it would literally make our stickers shine. We are now rolling out the Chongolove product, and initial acceptance is great!"

Color-Logic Director of Marketing Mark Geeves, commenting on the product, said: "The Chongolove concept is an excellent example of how print and video can be combined, and how print can help a product like the Chongolove sticker stand out, capture market attention, and facilitate use by consumers. Starting with the basic Chongolove design, the Color-Logic design studio group worked with Armond to add metallic colors and embellishments in the background to make it look three dimensional."

Color-Logic Expands Online Training Program

2020-04-21T10:10:23+01:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; April 2020— or seven years, Color-Logic has provided licensed Color-Logic printers around the world with web-based training, suitable for their captive designers, external designers, agencies, and brands. Color-Logic developed these training programs for two primary reasons: Time, because print personnel are often too busy during the day to learn new techniques, and thus need an effective means of learning at their own pace, and Location, because with licensed printers in more than 60 countries, the designer could well be in a different city or country, enabling licensed Color-Logic printers to expand markets in any direction.

A unique aspect of the Color-Logic system is that it enables print embellishment at the design stage, since the Adobe Design Suite is consistent in every language, on both Windows and Macintosh platforms. While it remains unclear how design will evolve beyond the COVID-19 outbreak, online training and web based training will remain, which is why Color-Logic has expanding online resources for licensed printers and their captive and external designers. Color-Logic has added Master Class Tutorials for Adobe PhotoShop, Illustrator, and InDesign to provide extensive instruction about how to add embellishments into artwork and make it truly stand out from the competition.

In addition, Color-Logic offers a wide variety of videos for anyone to review, including a recorded live webinar of the entire Color-Logic system. To learn more about the Color-Logic system, log on to www.color-logic.com/support,

Color-Logic to Introduce Neon/Fluorescent Design Tool at Printing United 2019

2019-10-23T00:07:23+01:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; October 2019—At Printing United 2019, October 23-25 in Dallas, Texas, Color-Logic will release a new design tool enabling graphic designers and prepress personnel to prepare artwork files for the neon and fluorescent inks currently being introduced by several digital press and printer manufacturers. The Touch7 Photo NEON plugin is a powerful design tool that enables brands, designers, and printers to utilize these neon colors in their images. Brands are already using spot neon and fluorescent inks in packaging and signage worldwide, but Touch7 Photo NEON is the only separation tool that adds these colors into images within seconds.

Discussing the new tool, Touch7 developer and Color-Logic CTO Richard Ainge said: "Touch7 Photo NEON allows any designer or prepress operator to create neon/fluorescent separations with a few clicks of the mouse. The Touch7 Photo tool helps printers add extended gamut colors into images by printing the neon separation atop the CMYK ink set. By combining neon pink with CMYK, for example, printers can produce an entirely new set of oranges and reds for their brand clients, an effect previously unachievable using CMYK inks alone."

Ainge continued: "Touch7 Photo NEON works intelligently at the pixel level, automatically isolating and separating out only the cyan, magenta, and yellow components of the image. The final conversion adds as many as three additional neon or fluorescent spot colors to the original image format. For example, an RGB image that is converted using Touch7 Photo NEON will become an RGB image plus up to three neon or fluorescent spot colors. Touch7 Photo NEON does not require ICC profiles to extract the desired separations. The proprietary Touch7 NEON separation algorithms calculate the effect based on the original source pixels. Graphic designers unable to see the Touch7 Photo NEON tool at the Dallas show may download the software and test it free of charge at www.touch7.co."

Commenting on the expanded pattern offering, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing Mark Geeves said: "Complex recurring patterns are seen everywhere today--in clothing, packaging, direct mail, social media, even in products. But incorporating patterns into design is a tedious, time-consuming process that often frustrates graphic designers and product managers. The latest suite in the Color-Logic Pattern-FX series brings out 20 holiday patterns, each incorporating six special effects. Color-Logic Pattern-FX provides graphic designers with seamless patterns as an Illustrator palette.

New Touch7 Photo ECG Tool from Color-Logic

2019-10-21T13:19:30+01:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; October 2019—In booth 10564 at Printing United in Dallas, October 23-25, Color-Logic will introduce Touch7 Photo ECG, an Extended Color Gamut (ECG) tool that dramatically simplifies the use of Extended Color Gamut in the latest wide-format and digital presses.

Extended Color Gamut (ECG) inks are rapidly gaining popularity in the large format and packaging worlds, particularly when specifying corporate identity or spot colors beyond the CMYK color gamut. When brands want images to stand out, they use this extended gamut capability in images. Doing so requires someone to make a manual mask for each of the ECG inks being used.

Until now, achieving the desired intent of Extended Color Gamut required a skilled prepress operator or graphic designer to use trial and error. Adding ECG ink sets into images requires creating a separate mask for each ECG ink being used. Touch7 Photo ECG is a new Photoshop plugin that enables the designer or prepress operator to add one, two, or three ECG separations into an image in only a few seconds. Touch7 Photo ECG eliminates the need to create manual masks, thus any designer using Photoshop CC can do this kind of work.

In addition, Touch7 Photo ECG does not require ICC profiles to create the ECG separations, enabling designers to create, at the design stage, five-, six-, or seven-color separations and then send the file to prepress for production, where ICC color management is used to map the image to the ink set of the printer or press.

Designers unable to visit the Color-Logic booth at Printing United can install and test Touch7 Photo ECG for themselves by downloading the tool at www.touch7.co.

Color-Logic Donates Touch7 Photo Software to Ryerson University

2019-06-12T08:25:54+01:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; June 2019—Color Logic has donated more than 150 copies of their Touch7 Photo ECG software to Toronto-based Ryerson University, for use in the School of Graphic Communications Management color management curriculum. Discussing the donation, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing Mark Geeves said: "The Ryerson graphic communications management program provides students with hands-on workshops and real-world workflow and color management experience. Offset and flexographic press manufacturers, as well as those producing digital presses, now offer Extended Color Management inksets, and printers are beginning to offer them to clients. Experience with the Touch7 Photo ECG software will enable Ryerson graduates to step immediately into technology positions in the packaging and commercial printing industry."

Ryerson Graphic Communications Management Assistant Professor Christopher Smyth also commented on the donation: "Color-Logic's generous support provides Ryerson students with an excellent opportunity to develop hands-on knowledge and creativity with extended color gamut projects. Touch7 has a clear, user-friendly interface which, together with the ability to adjust and custom the results, makes it an excellent approach to projects using fixed inksets."

Color-Logic Chief Technical Officer Richard Ainge--co-founder of Color-Logic and developer of Touch7--also commenting on the donation, said: "Touch7 Photo ECG software enables graphic designers and prepress personnel to incorporate Extended Color Gamut ink sets into their images with a single mouse click within Adobe Photoshop. Unlike other Extended Color Gamut systems that use destination/press profiles to separate images, the Touch7 Photo ECG plugin works intelligently at the pixel level, automatically isolating and separating the desired touch plates for Extended Color Gamut printing. The final conversion adds as many as three additional spot colors to the designer's original image format. Touch7 Photo ECG does not require ICC profiles to extract Extended Color Gamut separations--the proprietary separation algorithms calculate the effect based on the original source information."

The Ryerson University School of Graphic Communications Management in Toronto offers the only four-year degree program in Canada that is focused on the printing and graphic communications industries. With a mixture of technical and business courses, as well as a focus on engagement with the industry, Ryerson students graduate with the necessary expertise to facilitate consumer product packaging, marketing materials, signage, and print media across Canada and around the world.

2019-06-03T10:11:37+01:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; June 2019—In early 2009, into the teeth of the most severe recession ever suffered by the printing industry, Color-Logic introduced its Process Metallic Color System--the only graphic design software package that simplifies and standardizes metallic print production, creating foil printing using white ink/toner or silver ink/toner. Since that 2009 introduction, the Color-Logic system has remained affordable and easy for both conventional and digital printers to implement. A key Color-Logic feature links printers with graphic designers and brand managers, making them partners in the successful execution of metallic designs.

Color-Logic was developed by Chief Technology Officer Richard Ainge and Director of Sales and Marketing Mark Geeves, both of whom remain active in the company. Today Color-Logic is supported by virtually every digital printing press manufacturer offering white ink/toner or silver ink/toner. Color-Logic has consistently worked with press, substrate, and coating technology partners around the world and has evolved with process and equipment technologies.

After ten years, Color-Logic has installations in more than 50 countries, and in the past three years some 90 percent of Color-Logic sales have occurred outside the United States. In 2019, sales to printers with digital presses are expected for the first time to exceed those to conventional printers. Labels and packaging are particularly strong markets and consistently demonstrate a speedy return on investment in Color-Logic. For printers using any process, Color-Logic offers educational videos and easy-to-follow training that enable designers to quickly understand the technology and use it to produce metallic files that are consistently reproducible without seemingly endless trial-and-error.

Ainge continues: "The Ricoh Pro C7200X also opens up new, higher margin market areas for Ricoh clients.

New Color-Logic Videos Let Brand Managers and Designers See How Various Presses and Processes Affect Print

2018-02-28T08:56:28+00:00

West Chester, OH, USA; March 2018—New videos on the Color-Logic website--www.color-logic.com--let brand managers and graphic designers see how print can differentiate their brands. Examples of how Color-Logic can benefit brands in different printing processes--including offset, digital, inkjet, flexo, gravure, and cold foil--have been provided by licensed Color-Logic printers around the world. The Color-Logic videos show files printed using a variety of digital presses/printers, including those made by AGFA, Canon, CGS, Domino, EFI VUTEk, HP Indigo, HP Scitex, Mark Andy, Ricoh, Scodix, Screen, and Xerox, as well as conventional presses from Heidelberg, Komori, Mark Andy, MAN Roland, and Nilpeter.

Discussing the videos, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing Mark Geeves said: "All print begins with design. We have found, however, that often brand managers and graphic designers are unaware what print really can do--particularly with regard to paper, printing process, and coatings. Static images often do not capture the possibilities of decorative effects or metallics in digital or conventional print today. The Color-Logic videos offer brand managers and graphic designers a starting point from which they can request physical samples from a licensed Color-Logic printer, or any of our press or printer manufacturer partners around the world."

Color-Logic To Deliver Brand Solutions for Printers at PRINT 17

2017-08-29T08:35:01+01:00

West Chester, OH; August 2017—Color-Logic--developer of the Process Metallic Color System--has received the coveted MUST SEE 'EMS award, in connection with PRINT 17, the international graphic arts exposition to be held in Chicago in September. The award recognizes the security features licensed Color-Logic printers can offer their brand clients, in addition to the striking printed metallics produced on digital presses. Said Mark Geeves, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing, in accepting the award: "Color-Logic Security-FX for digital presses is economical and enables virtually any brand to bring products to market faster while making them difficult to counterfeit. The Color-Logic Security-FX technology is executed at the design stage, which means it integrates well with the quick turnaround available when digital presses are used. See everything Color-Logic can do in PRINT 17 Booth 4813."

Richard Ainge, Color-Logic Chief Technical Officer added: The Color-Logic security process incorporates dynamic special metallic effects that vary as the printed piece is moved. In addition, using the Color-Logic software, subtle watermarks can be embedded within metallic areas of a package design. These watermarks might, for example, be used to produce a subliminal logo branding effect in the label or package background. More advanced designers may use the Color-Logic software to create extremely complex security features such as colored and gradated metallic guilloches, or invisible ink separations generated from photographic images. Regardless of which available techniques are used, the Color-Logic system can add shine and security to product packaging that is limited only by the designer's creativity."

West Chester, Ohio, USA; August 2017—At PRINT 17 in Chicago, Color-Logic--developer of the Process Metallic Color System--will show how printers can use conventional, digital, and hybrid printing presses to differentiate products for corporate and brand clients. "The world today is about brand," said Mark Geeves, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing. Around the world, printers need strategies, technology, and marketing skills to help their brand clients differentiate themselves from competitors. In addition to demonstrating our easy-to-use software, at PRINT 17 Color-Logic will display physical samples showing what can be produced on the many and varied printing platforms we support."

Richard Ainge, Color-Logic Chief Technical Officer, added: "Color-Logic works diligently to develop technology relationships with press and printer manufacturers, substrate (paper, plastic, and foil) producers, coating companies, and RIP manufacturers around the world. Thus we are able to provide printers and converters with the most economical solutions and the fastest return on investment.

With Color-Logic, direct marketing, signage, packaging, labels, and tags can exhibit the same look across an entire brand campaign. Other decorative effects technologies support only one or two applications at most."

Corporate clients and brands typically associate decorative effects in print with post-finishing techniques or the need for additional press units--either of which makes most decorative jobs expensive to produce. Color-Logic decorative effects are done at the design stage, which reduces manufacturing costs and time to market. Visit the Color-Logic booth at PRINT 17 to see the most economical ways of differentiating print.

West 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."

2017-02-25T10:03:28+00:00

SAi Flexi software awarded global certification for Color-Logic’s Process Metallic Color System™ – Accreditation represents accelerated productivity, higher-quality output and reduced production costs for users

Salt Lake City, Utah, USA – SA International (SAi), the leading provider of software solutions for the professional sign making, wide-format digital printing and CAD/CAM for CNC machining industries, has announced that its industry-leading Flexi software has been fully certified by leading color communication systems manufacturer, Color-Logic, for use with its Process Metallic Color System™ for the wide format and sign markets.

As Color-Logic’s flagship product, Process Metallic Color System™ allows users to easily incorporate complex metallic colors into wide format prints. With the certification of SAi Flexi 11 and 12 for use with all metallic-capable inkjet printers, print providers can produce a host of applications, including posters, billboards and premium signage. This represents a haul of benefits, in particular the assurance of accelerated productivity, higher-quality output and reduced production costs by reducing mistakes.

“Typically, workflows are constrained to CMYK, making the preparation of a metallic job quite laborious,” explains Dean Derhak, Product Marketing Director at SAi. “Thanks to the partnership, customers can seamlessly allocate the metallic components early in the design phase using Process Metallic Color System™ with the confidence that Flexi will accurately output this to the printer.”

The more streamlined design-to-print process allows wide format print providers to dramatically reduce the time-consuming manual steps required, crucially accelerating their turnaround time.

Enhanced competitive edge through extended applications offering

In addition to an optimized workflow, the ability to offer premium metallic print applications enables companies to differentiate their signage and stand-out from the crowd.

“The capability to extend their business offering to include specialist, attention-grabbing prints enables print service providers to elevate existing projects to new heights and differentiate their service offering from the competition,” says Derhak. “In doing so, users strengthen their ability to retain existing clients as well as maintain their competitive edge.”

This latest certification by Color-Logic follows the recent accreditation of SAi’s Flexi and PhotoPrint RIP software with Color-Logic’s Touch7 extended colour gamut system.

Touch7 adds Soft-Proofing for Accurately Viewing Extended Color Gamut, Targeting Digital Print

2016-11-14T09:11:25+00:00

Leeds, England; November 2016—Touch7, an Extended Colour Gamut system distributed by Color-Logic Inc, has announced that they will now offer Soft-Proofing™ capability to their clients. Discussing the Soft-Proofing product, Touch7’s Founder/CTO, Richard Ainge commented: “Touch7 takes just one mouse click inside of PhotoShop to produce up to a 7 color separation of an image. However, PhotoShop does not provide an accurate color representation of any separation with more than CMYK or RGB images. We are not a colour management company so we partnered with RemoteDirector to provide us with an OEM version of their technology.” Mark Geeves, Director of Sales and Marketing for Touch7 commented: “We have targeted the digital press and printer markets with our Touch7 Soft-Proofing solution since people forget these presses are really production machines and there is a real need not to use them as proofing devices until the design is ready. If printers take 6 minutes of production time to produce 10 proofs a day then you have 1 hour of production time wasted. Touch7 creates an extended color gamut separation in seconds, which saves hours of manual masking and now with our Soft-Proofing solution, digital presses and printers are more productive as well.”

Color-Logic showcases unique method for variable data metallic print, available for HP Indigo Digital Presses

2016-05-02T08:47:09+01:00

West Chester, Ohio, USA; April 2016—Color Logic, the leader in decorative and reflective color communications systems, has introduced a new method for efficient and flexible variable data printing in metallic colors on metallic substrates. The method leverages the combined capabilities of Color Logic’s Process Metallic Color System™ and HP Indigo Digital Presses, providing a unique advantage for HP Indigo users.

The demand for personalization and localization in packaging and labels continues to grow at a rapid rate, with brands needing to better address their target markets, increase the security of their products, and meet the growing demand for more SKUs.

A recently released movie by Color-Logic demonstrates how brands can leverage HP Indigo Digital Presses with white ink and the Color-Logic software to enhance their high-end packaging with personalized messages and versioning. The short clip shows how to add variable content to metallic text, metallic sequential numbering, and even metallic images, across a multitude of print applications.

“The innovation behind this world-first lies in Color-Logic’s unique way of generating white ink plates,” said Richard Ainge, Color-Logic’s CTO. “Previously, archaic methods of generating a white ink plate, such as with manual image processing and masking, meant that VDP could not be done in metallic, since each VDP element would require a unique white ink mask.

“In the past, a job with 10,000 VDP names to be added in would require 10,000 individual white ink masks. Now, with Color-Logic, those white ink masks are automatically generated in the RIP as the file is processed. This makes the whole process far more efficient and flexible, ensuring VDP content can be made metallic, in any one of the 250 metallic colors offered by our system.”

Gershon Alon, WW Manager, Workflow Solutions at HP Indigo, added: “HP Indigo white ink and CMYK, combined with the Color-Logic software on metallic or pearl substrates provide brands with the benefits of variable data printing, while conveying the luxury associated with metallic. This is a real differentiator in the world of digital print and is available with the use of HP Indigo and Color-Logic technology.”

West Chester, Ohio, USA; April 2016—Touch7 Photo is a new product for extended color gamut printing, that has nothing to do with metallics, but everything to do with color – Let us explain what Touch7 Photo is and what it provides to you and your clients.

Extended Colour Gamut Printing
The developments by ink companies, print engines, RIP manufacturers and ICC profiling tools has been extensive over the past years, however, no one has really focused on the necessity for providing creative tools for designers, so that they can utilize these developments and reduce their cycle time to production. Touch7 was developed as an intuitive system that would help brands utilize ECG printing at a fraction of the time and cost associated with doing manual processing, and without the necessity to send your files through a dedicated colour separation system, therefore opening up ECG printing to even the smallest print shop. The true power of Touch7 lies in it’s automated ECG colour palettes and plug-ins for Adobe CC, ensuring that designers can create artworks in an extended colour gamut, without ever having to leave the familiar creative environment.

Touch7 Photo is a Photoshop plug-in that uses proprietary separation technology to automatically extract out ECG colors from your images, and all at the touch of a button!

KEY BENEFITS

Automatic ECG separation – Extract out only ECG gamut areas from an image.

No more masking – Unless you want to! Skin tones and colors that are easily achievable out of CMYK, are not effected by ECG inks.

Save hours on image processing times compared to a manual masking with simple "One Click" buttons, convert your photographic images in seconds.

Excellent ROI – The time saving on image masking alone, will pay for itself within a few images!

INTRODUCTORY PRICING: $650 per seat
Touch7 is licensed on an annual subscription basis. Single Seat Installs.
