Sometimes a technology comes along and it’s clear to everyone that it’s going to be the “wave of the future.” For many printers, designers, and technologists, Adaptive CMYK Plus is that wave—and today we’ll be taking a look at this emerging print technique and why it’s becoming popular at such a rapid pace.
Let’s get started:
What is Vivid Adaptive CMYK Plus Technology?
Xerox Adaptive CMYK Plus technology is a production printer press accessory that allows you to use Vivid CMYK Plus Toners. Rather than limiting your print run to CMYK-only, you can expand your options to include CMYK Plus colors (Gold, White, Silver, and Clear). Designers can run two passes for truly unique projects that include both traditional CMYK and CMYK Plus.

But back to the topic at hand: how CMYK Plus often outperforms more traditional multi-color runs.
Why Upgrade to CMYK Plus from Foil Stamping?
As you may know, foil stamping, like varnishing, can produce some especially beautiful effects for a specialty printing job. However, it’s expensive and time-consuming, often to the detriment of the printer or designer who offers it as an option for his or her clients.
Traditional printing can add days to your production timeline and become quite costly, not just in the way of material expenses, but labor expenses as well. Since you have to process multiple runs for each color that can only be applied to static elements of a project (i.e., non-changing), you have to do it again and again for variations.
CMYK Plus is an innovative accessory that empowers designers to utilize four Vivid CMYK Plus Toners, including Gold, White, Silver, and Clear. These unique toners will bring a higher-value enhancement to your digital prints easily, quickly, and—especially when compared to methods like foil stamping—very cost-effectively since CMYK Plus projects can be completed at the same rate as regular CMYK-only projects.
