What advantages does Color-Logic have over spot metallics?
The Color-Logic Process Metallic Color System™ has many advantages over using spot metallics. As an example, if you were to produce the image below of the Olympic medals in metallic, using conventional spot metallic colors, you would need to print CMYK for the ribbon, and a gold, silver and bronze color for each metallic medal… Using the Color-Logic system it is possible to produce all these metallic colors just using one metallic silver ink and overprinting with CMYK colors chosen from the Color-Logic metallic color palette! Comparison The following comparison is given on the basis that the image to the right could actually be reproduced out of just CMYK and three traditional spot metallic inks! Results: Traditional Spot metallic = 7 printing plates (CMYK, silver, bronze, gold) Color-Logic printing = 5 printing plates (CMYK + silver) Other benefits of Color-Logic Process Metallic Color SystemTM include faster drying times, reduced scuffing and lower ink film weights meaning less ink
