Fluid Color & Colorbyte Software partner

Fluid Color announced it has partnered with ColorByte Software to introduce ImagePrint UV with Pedestal AI, a RIP software platform designed to bring AI-driven 2.5D printing and tactile production to UV flatbed workflows.

“Pedestal AI changes how dimensional and tactile UV printing can be approached,” said John Pannozzo, president of ColorByte Software. “Working with Fluid Color systems allows us to control height, spacing, and ink layering directly in the RIP using AI, giving operators the ability to produce textured graphics and ADA-compliant tactile elements with consistent, repeatable results.”

For accessibility applications, ImagePrint UV supports production aligned with ADA signage requirements, including:

• Raised character heights of 0.031–0.037 inches through controlled ink stacking
• Domed braille dots built to ADA and Grade 2 braille spacing standards
• Precise tactile layout positioning for characters, pictograms, and braille translation
• Repeatable ink layering for durable tactile readability

Applications include ADA signage, dimensional décor, textured graphics, art reproduction, and specialty printed products. Integrated cut-path generation also allows seamless finishing with laser, drag-knife, and tabletop cutting systems.

ImagePrint UV with Pedestal AI is fully supported on Fluid Color UV flatbed printing systems.
