White is the new black

    New Digital toner technology from leading OEM's Ricoh and Fuji Xerox is allowing printers to become increasingly more diverse with the range of capabilities possible. The new Fuji Xerox Iridesse and Ricoh 7200sx have added a 5th colour engine to include white alongside traditional CMYK cartridges. Having white in the press now allows printers to create a base layer under CMYK, producing vibrant images on coloured stocks and transparencies that previously wasnt very effective. The above image was produced on the new Ricoh 7200sx using white + CMYK on ICON Stardream Fuschia. This image is a great example of how white undreneath CMYK transforms an image on a coloured...

ICON business cards

Earlier last year the ICON team redesigned their business cards to showcase the latest in digital technology. We believe your business card should be a reflection of your business and what it strives for. Our business cards were printed on the Fuji Xerox Iridesse Dry Toner Production Press using ICON Silk Matt 350gsm. The process was single colour black toner, masking out the white stock as text, soft touch laminate film and high build Clear overgloss from a Scodix Ultra Pro for the ICON logo. in essence a fairly simple production sequence but gave great punch and an element of luxe to our cards. The use of special effects gave this card its wow factor. A soft touch laminate for a velvety smooth fee and 3D Overgloss for another tactile feel that creates a great first impression when picked up for the first time. PRINT -...
