Richard Ainge, the Color-Logic Technical Director, has nearly 20 years of prepress experience, with intimate knowledge of design and print workflows.  Most recently, Ainge spent eight years developing special effects for printing applications.  He was the architect of a metallic-based color system which gained international recognition in the graphic arts marketplace, and received a wealth of accolades and industry awards.  His experience also includes developing graphic arts special effects training programs.
Mark Geeves, the Color-Logic Sales and Marketing Director, has nearly 30 years experience in the measurement and control of color, including executive assignments at X-Rite, Color Savvy, GretagMacbeth, and Ciba.  He was extensively involved in bringing portable and embedded instrumentation, and automated measurement devices to the graphic arts and color and appearance marketplaces.  As President of BestColor America, he pioneered the use of inkjet for proofing in the graphic arts marketplace, and has worldwide experience in developing and implementing color programs in the graphic arts, plastics, automotive, and paint markets.  Recently Geeves has been active in three-dimensional imaging for CADCAM and eCommerce.
Dave Bowden, the Color-Logic Operations and eCommerce Director, has more than 30 years experience innovating and advancing technology for printing, color and appearance, and e-ink markets.  He has held executive positions at X-Rite, Color Savvy, Minolta, BestColor, and GretagMacbeth.  An active member of several national and international standards organizations focused on color, Bowden holds several patents in the areas of color measurement and control.
