Specialised palettes, enabling graphic designers to instantly apply seamless patterns to their designs, Pattern-FX is new solution from Color-Logic, which when combined with the company’s system can be used for metallic ink printing or to generate complex white ink masks for printing on metallic substrates. In addition to primary metallic effects, each pattern may be used as an effect pattern for embossing or coatings. According to a company source, patterns are currently very popular and are widely used for both background and packaging designs.
The Color-Logic predesigned palettes open up new revenue opportunities, enabling graphic designers to prepare flawless metallic patterns within Adobe Illustrator with just a single mouse click. As the patterns are seamless, they are scalable and can be used for all types of printing and packaging applications, including wide-format graphics. Further, each pattern can be further controlled by applying one of the 250 metallic colours already available in the Color-Logic system.
