Discussing the benefits of Visualis3R, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing Mark Geeves said: "Color-Logic has always been committed to simplifying and enhancing the print embellishment process. Now, Visualis3R removes the uncertainty from advanced print effects that our system supports, such as digital and conventional cold foil (sleeking), and utilization of varnishes or clear coats atop Color-Logic effects. Now, Color-Logic licensees and their clients can preview and perfect their embellishments with total confidence—before anything is printed."
Geeves continued: “And, for the first time, Color-Logic is making Visualis3R available to print service providers and graphic designers that do not own the Color-Logic software.
