Touch7 Wins Printing United Pinnacle Technology Award
29/06/26 11:14 Filed in: Awards
West Chester, Ohio, USA; June 2026 - Touch7, the extended color gamut system for ECG inks and neon fluorescent inks, is proud to announce it received the 2026 Printing United Pinnacle Technology Award for its latest software version, v2.1. Color-Logic is the exclusive worldwide distributor of Touch7.
Discussing the honor, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing Mark Geeves said: "With the Touch7 v2.1, we introduced enhanced separation algorithms, expanding compatibility with a wider range of digital presses and neon ink sets. The latest update also features improved user interface tools for Photoshop, simplifying the workflow for designers and prepress operators. These improvements increase accessibility, reduce setup time, and ensure consistent, high-quality outputs across diverse printing platforms. Additionally, the new release provides Source Color Removal (SCR) options for adding neon inks specifically into images and extracting CMY inks/toners."
Geeves continued: "Unlike competitors that require manual color mapping or complex ICC profile management, Touch7 v2.1 delivers a plug-and-play experience, unlocking new creative possibilities and reducing production time. It provides the designer or prepress operator with complete control over where to apply neon inks or toners within a file or image—selective color enhancement that cannot be achieved through profile-based approaches alone. Touch7 separations are also mapped directly to the specialty neon inks/toners being used."
Here is what others had to say about Touch7 v2.1:
Dan Mulligan, Partner, YellowDog, Denver, Colorado, USA: The Touch7 Neon Color System has made a real difference for us at YellowDog. Before, working with specialty toners felt overwhelming and slow. Now, what used to be complicated and time-consuming is just part of our everyday workflow — easy, repeatable, and reliable. Instead of spending hours trying to get neon effects just right, we have a system that delivers results we can count on every time.
That means our design and production teams both get back valuable time, and we spend less of it troubleshooting or second-guessing our work. Neon effects feel like a natural part of our creative process now, not an extra hurdle. Ultimately, Touch7 lets us move quickly, focus on creativity, and deliver bold, eye-catching prints our clients love.
Leon Jackson, MediaCo, Manchester, UK: Touch7 has made a real difference to our workflow at MediaCo. It has streamlined our neon colour separation process, saving us time while improving the quality and consistency of our output.
Previously, complex files were very difficult to apply neon to, often requiring significant manual work. With Touch7, those same files are now quick and straightforward, which has really expanded what we can offer creatively. Our customers love the results and the vibrancy it brings to their projects.
The software is easy to use and integrated seamlessly into our existing setup, allowing our team to get up to speed quickly. Overall, Touch7 has become an essential tool for us, and I’d highly recommend it.
