Design Options with Digital

Design Options with DigitalDigital printing with dry ink gives designers more flexibility, more choices and more time. Printing on digital equipment with dry ink can be used to quickly, cost-effectively produce finished, short-run pieces with true colour reproduction and a wide, vibrant colour gamut. Now, with the option available on the Colour 1000 Press to apply clear dry ink to your designs, your options are virtually limitless. Once you get started, you'll want to add the depth, dimensionality, subtlety and intrigue clear dry ink can bring to all your printed pieces.

Breathtaking colour dry ink for brilliant designs
Strides in dry ink deliver a wide gamut that can exceed the limitations of the traditional colour gamut of the CMYK offset process - producing deliciously vibrant, saturated colours. Technology advances also let you design for specific Pantone spot colours. Special software and look-up tables can do the spot colour mapping to match Pantone colours using CMYK dry inks. But, if you prefer the control of selecting you own CMYK formula, you can also convert Pantone colours yourself using standard Pantone-to-CMYK charts.

And when it comes to blacks, using a formula that combines all CMYK colours lets you create a rich, "super" black.

A few tips to remember when designing for dry ink printing:
  • To maintain a smooth appearance on large flat areas of solid colours, introduce a light pattern, such as a texture or noise, to modulate the colour.
  • Adding a pattern can also help eliminate banding.
  • Incorporating imagery, photos, graphics and text naturally breaks up large areas of colour, and also showcases the ability of dry ink to reproduce high-quality full-colour images.

Digital printing with dry ink is a real time-saver, too. Because dry ink eliminates the time-intensive drying process, documents can go directly to finishing - ideal for flexibility and speed. And proofs can be run on the same printer that will produce your final output, so what you see on the proof is what you'll get - no colour shifts and time-consuming adjusting. Dry ink prints beautifully on an assortment of paper types, including coated, uncoated, gloss, matte and textured finishes. Plus, for the environmentally conscious, dry inks are non-hazardous and their ink containers are recyclable.

 

Crystal clear dry ink for eye-catching effects
For the ultimate in design flexibility, you can add a special touch using clear dry ink. Adding clear dry ink in specially designated areas over images or text, as a flood on the entire page, or as a subtle watermark or design element all its own, can add elegance and power to you printed pieces. Think frost on a window or the see-throught beauty of a crystal and you'll understand the dramatic, eye-catching design effects you can create with clear.
