Together with eight other graphic arts vendors, Color-Logic-developer of the Process Metallic Color System--shared in the European Flexographic Industry Association Technical Innovation Award, at a ceremony recently held in the United Kingdom.
The lead supplier, Mark Andy, was assisted in the production of a metallic swatch book by API Foils, Innovia Films, Cheshire Anilox Technology, Reprobrand, GMC Color, and JFM Plates, in addition to Color-Logic. The winning swatch book demonstrated how, using white and conventional CMYK inks, the cold foil process can provide striking metallic images similar to those previously available only through hot foil stamping.
Commenting about the use of the Color-Logic system on cold foil, Richard Ainge, Color-Logic Chief Technical Officer said: "Use of the Color-Logic system on cold foil enables both flexographic and lithographic printers to achieve a "hot foil look" by printing white and CMYK inks on silver cold foil. This technique eliminates the time-consuming and expensive hot stamping process, as well as the need to inventory different foil colors. Color-Logic is pleased to have been part of this award-winning technology demonstration."
