Color-Logic adds 30 new Metallic Gold colors

Company’s printers to provide 55 unique metallic gold colors

June 3, 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 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) company’s 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.”

Metallic gold colors having several advantages for the printing industry

Color-Logic licensees may produce their own swatch books using their substrates, press standards, inks, and coatings. The print embellishments offered by licensed 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 easily implemented embellishments available to printers.

Color-Logic develops color communication systems and software toolsets for a variety of special effect printing applications. It provides brand owners, product managers, corporations, and advertising agencies to differentiate themselves and their clients with a simple print production process that yields dramatic results.

Its decorative effects utilize the existing workflows of printers and designers, yielding dynamic results without the use of special equipment. It also supports the value of print and works with designers and printers to enhance their printed media. For more information, visit www.color-logic.com or call +1-513-258-0047.

The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.

A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.

As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
