Color-Logic - developer of the
Process Metallic Color System - has certified the Graphium Digital UV Inkjet
Press for use with Color-Logic files. Announcing the certification, Color-Logic
Director of Sales and Marketing Mark Geeves commented, "Color-Logic
technicians have tested the Graphium Digital UV Inkjet Press for compatibility
with Color-logic files. Current and future Graphium users can be assured that
their presses will accurately process Color-Logic files and produce striking
images on metallic foils and similar substrates. Using the Color-Logic system means that
Graphium owners no longer need to create white ink masks. Graphium presses,
together with the Color-Logic process, provide printers with 250 new metallic
colors and a virtually unlimited combination of decorative effects. As brands require many more SKUs to address
worldwide markets, the Graphium digital printing solution enables them to stand
out from their competition on the shelf."
The Graphium is a high speed hybrid
UV inkjet press designed specifically for the narrow web and specialty
packaging market by FFEI and Fujifilm. Marketed exclusively in North America by
Fujifilm, the Graphium is the first press to be configured with under and over
white, allowing pure white designs with opacity that exceeds traditional flexo
white. Its modular design provides the ultimate functionality as it combines
inkjet, flexographic printing and finishing, all inline. Utilizing greyscale
print heads that produce a range of drop sizes from 6 to 42 picoliters,
combined with inter-color LED pinning of Fujifilm Uvijet inks, enables Graphium
to print fine details, smooth tones, and small font text demanded by the most
exacting customers at single-pass print speeds up to 164 feet per minute. Flexo
stations are configured inline before and after the inkjet print engine,
providing the ultimate capability to produce unique, high quality labels.
Developed for brand managers,
product managers, corporations and advertising agencies, the Process Metallic
Color System gives licensees the ability to differentiate themselves and their
clients from the competition by simplifying the design and print production
process and implementing eye-catching decorative effects into their branded
products and associated collateral. The Color-Logic system is compatible with
offset, inkjet, flexography, digital presses, screen printing, and gravure
processes. It is ideal for packaging,
pouches, direct mail, point-of-purchase material, signage, post cards,
literature, booklets, labels, shrink sleeves, calendars and much more.
Color-Logic provides brand owners,
product managers, corporations, and their advertising agencies the ability to
differentiate themselves and their clients with a simple print production
process that yields dramatic results. Color-Logic decorative effects utilize
the existing workflows of printers and designers, yielding dynamic results
without the use of special equipment. Color-Logic supports the value of print
and works with designers and printers to enhance their printed media.
