A new video released by Color-Logic--developer of the
Process Metallic Color System--shows how, when used together, the Color-Logic
system and HP SmartStream Designer enable graphic designers to automatically
produce white ink masks necessary for printing variable data in metallic using
digital presses.
Discussing the technique, Color-Logic Chief Technical Officer
Richard Ainge commented: "Producing metallic images, text, vector
graphics, or sequential numbers with digital presses on a metallic substrate
necessitates producing a white ink mask for every variable data field in a
design. This means that variable data printing in metallic was virtually
impossible until Color-Logic developed a foolproof technique, enabling HP
SmartStream Designer to automatically and effortlessly produce the required
white ink masks with a simple click of the designer's mouse. A video on the
Color-Logic website shows how to prepare files using
Color-Logic with HP SmartStream Designer."
