Color-Logic, the leader in metallic colors systems and print embellishment, has announced the release of Pattern-FX Volume 6. Commenting on the event, Color-Logic director of sales and marketing Mark Geeves said, “In recent years, patterns have become a key element of graphic design. Color-Logic Pattern-FX volumes are illustrator palettes that incorporate the Color-Logic special effects and make pattern usage effortless, predictable, and reproducible.”
“They can be rotated and scaled, and since Color-Logic colors can be gradated, two or more colors can be used within one pattern. When using the six Pattern-FX volumes and the 924 metallic colors together in the Color-Logic Design Suite, graphic designers have access to 665,290 predictable and reproducible embellishment patterns with just a few mouse clicks. However, with scaling and rotation, the number of print embellishments is unlimited. In addition, with Color-Logic Gradation-FX, graphic designers can blend metallic colors into other metallic colors for each pattern or blend process colors into metallic colors for use on conventional or digital presses,” he continued.

Geeves concluded, “At Color-Logic, we believe with ‘All Print Stars With Design’, graphic designers have Color-Logic tools and understand what is possible with print embellishment. As a result, they will increase the use of value-added print. Using Color-Logic enables graphic designers to produce all colors and embellishments with just five inks – silver ink or toner with CMYK on paper, or white ink or toner with CMYK on the reflective stock. Color-Logic makes print embellishment not only predictable but economical for production.”
