Color-Logic stands out as the odds-on choice for metallics; over 70 digital press and printer models using metallic and white certified by Color-Logic.
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
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, 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.”
