Color-Logic Certifies ColorByte ImagePrint UV RIP
05/10/26 11:08
West Chester, Ohio, USA; October 2026 - Color-Logic, the world leader in metallic color systems and print embellishments, has certified the ColorByte ImagePrint UV RIP for use with the Color-Logic metallic color system. The intuitive RIP integration and white ink linearization of the ColorByte RIP vastly simplifies the production of Color-Logic metallic colors and embellishments.
For the certification, ColorByte submitted the official Color-Logic test form, produced on a Fluid Color UV inkjet printer using white plus CMYK inks on metallic stock. Testing confirmed that all Color-Logic metallic colors, decorative effects, and embellishments printed correctly.
In addition to properly supporting Color-Logic embellishments, ColorByte has incorporated an intuitive Color-Logic interface directly into the ImagePrint UV RIP. This streamlined workflow eliminates the need for printers to perform special setup procedures or manually configure the RIP to print Color-Logic files. Operators simply bring the supplied PDF into the RIP and print.
The ColorByte ImagePrint UV RIP also offers white-ink linearization capabilities. Precise control of white ink is essential when printing Color-Logic files on metallic substrates because the white ink determines how much of the metallic surface is revealed or suppressed. The ColorByte linearization technology accurately and consistently reproduces Color-Logic metallic colors and effects across the entire tonal range of the file.
“ColorByte has done more than ensure that ImagePrint UV correctly supports Color-Logic embellishments,” said Mark Geeves, Director of Sales & Marketing. “The company has developed an intuitive interface that makes the production process exceptionally simple for printers. Its white-ink linearization capability also provides the control required to reproduce Color-Logic metallic colors and effects properly throughout the complete tonal range.”
Certification of the ColorByte ImagePrint UV RIP provides print service providers using compatible UV inkjet printers with a tested, straightforward workflow for producing premium metallic applications and print embellishments.

RIP Developers Recognize Color-Logic Importance
22/09/22 12:18
West Chester, Ohio, USA; September 2022—The importance and utility of Color-Logic in the printing industry is widely recognized by RIP (Raster Image Processor) developers as the preferred method of producing metallic images and special effects. Discussing the matter, Mark Geeves, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing, said: "In digital printing, a RIP serves as the interface between the Digital Front End (DFE) and the print engine. Because of differences in print engines and DFEs, each digital press installation needs a RIP that has been specifically tailored to connect between the DFE and print engine being used. As of mid-2022, specific features have been made available by almost all RIP manufacturers to enable printers to use Color-Logic in their workflows. The fact that these RIP developers have made Color-Logic available to users of nearly every digital press and printer manufacturer worldwide speaks to the widespread popularity of the Color-Logic metallic color system."
Geeves continued: "The RIP developers providing a specific connection for the Color-Logic system now include Caldera, CGS, ColorGate, Compose, EFI, Ergosoft, Equios, Global Graphics, GMG, Heidelberg Versafire, Onyx, RTI-RIPs, SAI, Wasatch, and Xitron. All of these manufacturers offer Color-Logic connectivity to most of the digital presses and printers around the world. Color-Logic works closely with these and other manufacturers providing equipment capable of printing metallics using silver inks or toners on conventional substrates as well as those producing images with white ink or toner on metallic substrates. More than 75 digital presses and printers worldwide use Color-Logic to produce the sparkling metallics so popular with brands and commercial customers."
