MGX launches two innovative substrates
MGX has debuted two groundbreaking products at this year’s PRINTING United Expo in Orlando, Florida: Unilustre Metallized Board and ReadyMAG Pre-Magnetized Magnet Paper. Both are engineered to empower commercial printers and designers with high-performance, production-ready substrates that combine innovation and versatility.
Developed in collaboration with Unifoil Corporation—Unilustre is a premium-grade, plastic-free, solvent-free, and certified 100% repulpable and recyclable metallized board. Designed for compatibility with HP Indigo, Dry Toner, and Offset presses, Unilustre enables printers and brand designers to achieve striking metallic effects while meeting their environmental goals.
Available in Silver and Rainbow finishes and in 14 pt and 18 pt gauges, Unilustre gives designers and printers the flexibility to create premium, eye-catching pieces—all with a sustainable edge.
At PRINTING United 2025, Unilustre will also be showcased in a special collaboration between Color-Logic, Unifoil, and several major OEM partners—demonstrating the creative potential of this innovative metallized board.
Renowned comic-book artist Greg Horn has created a series of collectible art pieces enhanced with Color-Logic’s metallic embellishment technology and printed on Unilustre®Foil Board, revealing how white + CMYK can interact with the board’s mirror-like surface to produce stunning visual effects.
Also making its tradeshow appearance, ReadyMAG is MGX’s revolutionary pre-magnetized paper that streamlines the production of printed magnets—no post-magnetization required. By removing the need for specialized equipment, ReadyMAG makes magnet printing more accessible, affordable, and efficient for commercial printers.Combining a premium coated paper surface with a pre-magnetized backing, ReadyMAG is compatible with HP Indigo and select Production Dry Toner technologies. Available in 13 pt and 15 pt thicknesses, it integrates seamlessly into standard digital print workflows.
