Color-Logic, the distributor for Visualis3R, has released EVE, a free-to-use, embellishment cost estimator created specifically for printers worldwide. Developed as a companion for the forthcoming Visualis3R platform, EVE is a free, web-based estimator for printers.

Describing EVE, Mark Geeves, director of sales and marketing for Color-Logic, the worldwide distributor of Visualis3R, said, “With EVE, printers can model the substrate plus CMYK inks or toners for an embellishment job, and then add hits with special colors, and stack treatments like foil, emboss, varnish, lamination, and Scodix/Duplo. Then EVE instantly shows how these special embellishment effects change the job, the unit cost, and the value story.”

Continuing, Geeves added, “EVE does not use Artificial Intelligence, does not suggest what the customer should be charged, and does not collect, store, analyze, or share data. EVE does not require learning models and does not use cloud profiling. EVE is not influenced by industry averages. Printers simply enter their costs and EVE does the rest – quickly and unambiguously displaying embellishment costs.”

EVE offers greater accessibility. The platform can be translated into 133 different languages using the intuitive language selector above the estimator window. The entire user interface dynamically adapts, ensuring that printers and production teams everywhere can work in their preferred language – making EVE a truly global solution for the print industry, the company said.

EVE bridges a crucial gap in the print production workflow, offering clear, accurate cost estimates for embellishments – something that has traditionally been difficult to calculate. With its multilingual capabilities and integration with Visualis3R, EVE is expected to deliver global accessibility and practical value to printers, brands, and converters everywhere.
