APRIL, 20249enables, for example, the prediction how a brand color would overprint with standard CMYK process colors. Based on such color models more complex technologies like DeviceLink profiles can be calculated. Client's First ChoiceThorsten sharing two instances describes how ColorLogic technology optimized and automated Satinskin Textiles S.A., a digital textile printing company in Portugal that produces textiles on a variety of machines from different manufacturers. ColorLogic CoPrA and ColorAnt were integrated seamlessly into their current workflow providing outstanding results. Prior to using ColorLogic, they had a problem with the color blue appearing more purple in profiles, and the gray balance not being accurate. The gray balance feature in CoPrA gave them complete control where they wanted their grays to go, color wise. In addition, their previous solution did not provide multichannel DeviceLinks and having this ability to convert with CoPrA multicolor profiles provided better efficiency all around. Satinskin is very happy with how simple the applications are to use, while still providing the best possible results. "ColorLogic solutions really provide a high return on investment because in the end the user needs less testing and to save ink. We have been working with ColorLogic's partner in Spain, ID-Soft, and they have provided great support with prompt replies and accurate information," states Antero Pedras of Satinskin Textiles.In the second instance, The Office of Marketing Communications at Miami Dade College has been using ColorLogic ZePrA Smart Color Server since August of 2013. Prior to using ColorLogic, color space conversions were not as accurate, color gradations contained banding and resulting files were very large when dealing with their color space conversion of large files for newsprint, digital, offset and sheetfed. ColorLogic drastically reduced their final output file size by over 500 percent (compared to their previous system), which means faster conversion and transfer time. In most cases, ColorLogic did not even need to rasterize the file to process to a new color space, which is necessary for many other products. The ColorLogic solution was simply much faster and more efficient than anything else they have seen.The installation and integration of ColorLogic into their workflow was seamless. The setup was done by theirColorLogic partner in Miami, Grafix World. The color server was up and running almost immediately.Since upgrading their color server to ZePrA, they have experienced faster processing times with accurate results and superior customer support.Towards the Future"We stay ahead of the competition by continually innovating technology to solve the industry's toughest color management challenges," says Thorsten. "We focus on our core competences and adjust to new market segments. We pride ourselves in being the first to incorporate ever-changing standards, updates, and support for new devices."ColorLogic's ICC-based algorithms are extremely advanced and easy to integrate into any ICC-compliant production environment. Some of their competitors continually denigrate ICC-based systems. ICC profiles are a data container, not a method, and the ICC container is actually far more flexible than that used by non-ICC-based solutions. Systems that rely on proprietary profile formats cause significant and expensive problems in file exchanges, where "different" is not "better." Non-ICC-based solutions may also have serious limitations, for example in number and color of output channels. "Our technology is simply superior as it also optimizes and automates for more accurate results," says Thorsten. ColorLogic technology is founded on a simple idea -- increase efficiency and reduce waste. Thorsten applies his passion for innovation and his technical expertise to transform the color management industry, and thus, our world. He actively participates in causes for protecting the environment, education and wildlife. Thorsten also supports relief efforts for natural disasters and scholarships to educational institutions for a better local and global community. "Sustainability is a fundamental part of everything I do. To have a lasting impact requires commitment and collaboration from all," adds Thorsten.
