## The lead

GAM Graphics has put Color-Logic into production, using the software to automate visual previews of metallic digital print embellishments. For a shop floor, that lands at estimating and proofing, not on press. Metallic work is exactly the kind of job a customer cannot picture from a flat PDF, and the back-and-forth that follows eats press time, operator attention and usually a set of physical samples nobody bills for. Automating the preview moves that argument to before the file is released rather than after the first sheet comes off. It also narrows the gap between what sales promises and what the machine actually delivers: the approval a client signs is closer to the one the press reproduces. The pressure shifts to prepress, where someone still has to keep the preview honest against the substrate, the ink and the equipment standing in the room. Worth watching if your metallic quotes die at approval.

## Signals

GAM Graphics implemented Color-Logic software to automate the visual previewing of metallic digital print embellishments. The operative word is automate. Previewing metallics has been a manual, judgment-heavy step, normally handled by whoever in prepress knows how a given metallic behaves on a given stock, which makes it slow and inconsistent between operators. Folding it into software makes the preview repeatable and puts it within reach of sales and customer service rather than leaving it parked with one person. Filed under tech.

## Verdict of the week

The claim that Mecolour sets out manufacturing criteria and heat consistency standards for commercial sublimation ovens used in drinkware decoration is false. The page is a buyer's checklist for evaluating and choosing an oven manufacturer or supplier, covering specifications, production capacity, OEM/ODM options, export packaging and after-sales support. Temperature range shows up only as one product spec among many for comparing suppliers, 60–200°C on the 20L model and 180–220°C on the S302 Tunnel Oven, with nothing said about heat uniformity, tolerance or consistency standards.
