CONSOLIDATED
GRAPHICS PARTNERS WITH METALFX®
MetalFX® and Consolidated Graphics have
partnered to create the single largest group
of licensed MetalFX® printers in the U.S.
In an exciting deal with MetalFX® Technology,
Consolidated Graphics has licensed its facilities,
making the revolutionary metallic printing process
available to customers across the United States.
MetalFX® technology is a revolutionary
printing process that is used to produce hundreds
of metallic colors in one pass on a printing
press. This enables an unlimited choice of
metallic colors, without the additional expense
of producing multiple spot colors.
The MetalFX® metallic system requires
only one extra ink. The MetalFX® base silver
ink is printed as the first color, and then
overprinted with traditional CMYK values. The
transparency of the CMYK allows the high luster
MetalFX base silver ink to shine through, creating
a whole new spectrum of vibrant metallics.
MetalFX® technology is inspiring to designers,
economical for brand owners and appealing to
consumers. Metallics are no longer a high-end
luxury; they are an integral part of the print
world.
MetalFX® Managing Director Andrew Ainge
is excited about the relationship between the
two companies. "It is an honor to work
closely with Consolidated Graphics in the development
of MetalFX® in the U.S. market and we look
forward to a prosperous and exciting future
together.
I can’t wait to see the impact
it will make on the design and print communities."
Aaron Grohs, Executive Vice President, Sales
and Marketing with Consolidated Graphics believes
the partnership with MetalFX® is a strategic
advantage in the marketplace.
"Consolidated Graphics maintains a vision
of a strong, dynamic printing company that
offers the economic and innovative solutions
to our wide range of customers. We strive to
invest in the latest technology and equipment
to provide tangible benefits to our customers.
MetalFX®
fits into this strategy perfectly, and we are
very delighted to stay ahead of the competition
and offer this exciting new technology to our
customers." |
