Konica Minolta partners with Color-Logic to unlock premium print effects using white toner technology

Print Solutions

Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) has announced a new partnership with Color-Logic, bringing powerful new design and embellishment capabilities to customers using its AccurioPress C14010s, C12010s, C10500s cut sheet devices with white toner. The collaboration enables print companies to create high impact, premium applications in a single pass – without the need for post finishing or specialist embellishment equipment.

The partnership centres on Color-Logic’s design stage colour and effects system, which transforms the use of white toner on metallic substrates into a predictable, repeatable, and commercially valuable workflow. Customers can produce striking metallic effects for premium covers, that are perfect for direct mail, greeting cards, short run packaging and more – while maintaining full control over colour accuracy and designer intent.

Color-Logic’s technology offers 924 metallic colours, including 50 shades of gold, all generated through a simple, design led process. Effects can be visualised before production, reducing waste, speeding up turnaround times, and giving customers confidence in the final result.

Malcolm Smith, category manager – professional print at Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK), said: ‘Our customers are always looking for ways to differentiate their print and add value without adding complexity. By combining white toner with Color-Logic’s design stage tools, they can now produce premium metallic effects in a single pass with no post finishing, no guesswork, and no barriers to creativity. It is a fast, economical way for print rooms to offer high impact applications that command attention and deliver stronger commercial outcomes by taking white toner up to the next level.’

The partnership also supports  the manufacturer’s wider strategy to help customers build more efficient, automated and profitable workflows. Color-Logic’s system aligns with this approach by giving designers and print companies a predictable, structured method for creating embellishments.

Mark Geeves, co-founder and director of sales and marketing at Color-Logic, commented: ‘This partnership is about helping Konica Minolta customers turn ‘shiny stuff’ into something they can sell. By using white toner on metallic stock, print producers can produce stunning, premium effects with incredible speed and consistency. Our tools keep the designer’s intent from the very start, reduce waste, and dramatically shorten time to market. Together with Konica Minolta’s technology, we are giving printers a simple, economical way to stand out in a crowded marketplace.’
