Color-Logic announces that its Process Metallic Color System has added a new tool at the start of 2012, enabling graphic designers and brand owners to visualise the complete array of Color-Logic metallic and special effects on their designer workstations. Until now, Color-Logic users had no means of accurately visualising Color-Logic metallic hues or special effects, because the Process Metallic Color System creates five-colour files for printing with metallic inks or with white inks on metallic substrates.

The company’s new FX-Viewer creates the metallic look and special effects of Color-Logic files right on the desktop workstation monitor, enabling brand managers and designers to verify visually how their designs will appear when printed. Costly design iterations and expensive proofing to verify design effects are thus eliminated.
