West Chester, Ohio - Color-Logic-developer of the Process Metallic Color System--has certified the Xeikon X-800 Digital Front End for use with Color-Logic files.  Announcing the certification, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing Mark Geeves commented:  "Color-Logic technicians have tested the Xeikon X-800 Version 3.5 DFE on the Xeikon 3000 Series presses for compatibility with Color-logic files.  Xeikon users can be assured that Xeikon printers with this configuration will accurately process Color-Logic files and produce striking images on metallic foils and similar substrates, and eliminate having to create white ink masks, and take advantage of variable text in metallic.  Xeikon presses, together with the Color-Logic process, provide printers with 250 new metallic colors and a virtually unlimited combination of decorative effects.  As brands require many more SKUs to address worldwide markets, the Xeikon digital printing solution enables them to stand out from their competition on the shelf."

Samples showing the Color-Logic technology produced on Xeikon presses will be available on the Xeikon stand at Labelexpo Americas 2014 in Chicago.
