Innovative Color Management by Trifolio, Tecnologie Grafiche, and ColorLogic
At the intersection of artistry and innovation, Trifolio—an offset printer based in Verona, Italy—partnered with Tecnologie Grafiche, Italy’s ColorLogic reseller, and ColorLogic Software to innovate how art comes to life on paper. United by a shared passion for perfection, this collaboration merged expert craftsmanship, cutting-edge technology, and bold ideas to push the boundaries of color reproduction and artistic expression.
The Challenge: Breaking the Limits of Traditional Printing
Traditional four-color offset printing has long struggled to capture the vibrant depth, brilliance, and clarity of colors seen by the human eye or created through artistic techniques. This limitation often results in printed materials that feel flat and muted, failing to convey the true essence of the artist’s vision. For high-demand customers like art photographers, publishers, and brands, achieving unparalleled print quality has remained an elusive goal.
The Solution: Advanced Multicolor Printing and ColorLogic’s Expertise
Trifolio Labs’ advanced multicolor printing technology, combined with ColorLogic’s innovative color management tools—ColorAnt, CoPrA, and ZePrA—has unlocked new possibilities in color reproduction. By extending the gamut with 5, 6, or 7 colors, this partnership has overcome the qualitative and color limitations of standard reproduction techniques.
Andrea De Rossi, a color expert with 50 years of experience, shares his perspective: “I have dedicated my life to color, and I have a good feeling about Trifolio because they love color as much as I do. What unites us in this project is the shared passion of everyone involved to realize these beautiful prints.”
The Results: Unparalleled Print Quality
The collaboration has produced extraordinary results, delivering brighter, richer, and more lifelike colors that far exceed industry standards like the typical offset PSO Coated V3 (FOGRA 51).
Florian Holzherr, an architectural photographer who has worked with artist James Turrell, attests to the transformative impact: “With the new software and multicolor printing, we can enhance the quality of the pictures by another 20%. The results are so much more vivid and detailed—it’s an amazing step forward.”
Trifolio’s dedication to artistic integrity and technical excellence ensures that every project captures the original intention of the artist. As Massimo Tonelli, the CEO of Trifolio explains: “We have a lot of respect for the artists and their work. Our goal is to transmit the same feeling when people open a book and see the images. Through research, advanced software, and new inks, we are confident we can deliver something truly new on paper.”
The Future: Enhance the quality of printing using Multicolor
This partnership is not just about achieving exceptional results today—it’s about setting the foundation for adapting to the desired color reproduction goals of the artists in the future. By combining extended gamut inks, expert craftsmanship, and ColorLogic’s precision color management tools, Trifolio and its partners are redefining what’s possible in the world of printing.
“We are creating beautiful print samples using Multicolor printing, applying more than just CMYK inks, to reproduce the color intensity of the original photographs. With ColorLogic’s tools and the Trifolio team’s expertise, we are producing prints that truly honor the artist’s vision,” says Dietmar Fuchs, ColorLogic’s Product Manager.
