Spot color without Photoshop.Flat in. 3D out.
Image Presto turns any image into a print-ready 3D UV transfer in three clicks — no Photoshop, no CorelDRAW, no spot channel training. See it drive the new Lumen S24F live on the show floor: white base, gloss varnish and raised emboss, exported as a multi-channel TIFF your RIP reads by name.

One flat artwork, two relief recipes — exactly what the Lumen S24F lays down on film. Drag the handle to compare.
What to expect in Las Vegas
Three days on the PRINTING United floor with a Lumen S24F running Image Presto files start to finish.
Live demos every hour
A rep takes one image from upload to a raised, glossy print while you watch — including the RIP reading W1 and V1 by name.
Bring your own artwork
Hand us a logo on your phone. We will mask it, texture it and put it on film during your visit.
Samples off the press
Emboss, twill and satin finishes under raking light, so you can feel the difference a varnish channel makes.
Talk Lumen with the dealers
Printer questions, RIP setup, volume pricing and the five-year Image Presto plan that ships with the workflow.

Booth C3268A UV DTF press only earns its price when the file carries the channels
White base and varnish are separate ink layers. The RIP prints only what the file names — and today that file comes from Photoshop, from a paid designer, or not at all.
“My RIP wants a W1 and a V1 channel and I have no idea how to make them.”
“I paid for a 3D printer and my prints come out flat.”
“My designer charges me for every varnish layer, and I wait two days.”
“I tried the Photoshop tutorial. Forty minutes, wrong channel name, the white printed on the wrong side.”
“Consumer apps give me one button for texture, but I cannot control where it goes and the file never leaves their app.”
That is the gap we close
Image Presto builds the white, varnish and relief channels in the browser, names them the way your RIP expects, and exports a multi-channel TIFF — so the texture you designed is the texture that prints.
Composite lines from our test notes, dealer questions and the Photoshop workflow — the words we keep hearing, not verbatim customer quotes.
Five reasons spot color decides the print
The short version every rep can say in one breath at the booth.
The printer cannot guess
White underbase, varnish and raised layers are separate ink channels. No channel in the file, no 3D on the film.
The channels decide the result
Where the white sits decides opacity. Where the varnish sits decides gloss and height. A wrong choke or a wrong name prints visibly wrong — and wastes film and ink.
Manual separation is the bottleneck
One clean spot channel in Photoshop is tedious; two with different offsets is a pre-press job. Nobody buys a 60 cm UV printer to live in the Channels panel.
Skill is the scarce resource, not hardware
Shops already own the press. What they lack is a designer on call — so Image Presto meets them where they are, with a wand instead of a tutorial.
Texture is what sells the job
Embossed, embroidered, jelly and patch looks are why a customer picks a Lumen over a flat printer. The Spot Channel Editor makes those looks a menu choice.

Our reps walk this list against a real press, with your artwork, every hour on the show floor.
Watch the 90-second demoThree clicks to 3D
Upload, select, generate. One browser tab carries the whole job — artwork, masking, texture, 3D preview and the export your RIP reads.
Upload
Drop in any flat PNG or JPG — or hand off artwork from AI generation, background removal, the upscaler or the canvas editor.
Select
Mask the areas that get raised: full image, magic wand, color select or AI point-prompt segmentation. Fill holes, refine edges, clip to artwork.
Texture
Pick emboss from the image tones or one of 30 tiled relief patterns, then tune scale, smoothness, tonal balance and height.
Generate & export
Preview the relief in interactive 3D, then export one combined multi-channel TIFF — or per-channel files — with the spot names embedded.
One tab, whole job — the pipeline we run at the booth
Thirty-one textures, six families
Smooth image-tone emboss, seven stitch textures, then dots and lines, grids and tiles, curves and ridges, and decorative shapes. Every swatch below is the real texture the editor renders — pick one to watch it tile.

And not the alternatives
Every route to a spot-color file has a cost. Here is the honest scoreboard — including the two things our own tool will not do.
