Depending on edition, options include Adobe PDF Print Engine, color replacement, tiling, media-device synchronization, linearization, print and cut, nesting, and quality assurance. Profiler Suite, Simulation & Proofing Package, and Screen Package are optional additions for specialized workflows. A REST API connects existing workflows when the Access Control Module is present. Perpetual licenses carry an annual Value Pack Subscription equal to 18% of license value for support and upgrades.

ColorLogic CoPrA creates ICC profiles for color management in print production, including printer, DeviceLink and SaveInk profiles. Printer profiling can cover Gray, RGB, CMY, CMYK and Multicolor spaces, depending on the purchased package and modules. DeviceLink profiles support combinations of Gray, RGB, CMYK and Multicolor. Print features include profile updates, flexographic first-printed tone options and visual DeviceLink editing; that workflow uses image-editing applications such as Adobe Photoshop to work on supplied test charts. CoPrA runs on Windows and macOS. ColorLogic says its profiling technology is ICC compliant and its profiles can be used on ICC-aware systems. The September 2026 CoPrA 12 release lists Multicolor improvements, ambient-light measurement, Paper White/OBA Match and Batch Overview log files. The product is intended for color-management professionals working with presses and printers in offset, gravure, packaging, digital and industrial printing. Pricing is on request, and a 14-day trial is available. Permanent licenses can be computer-based or USB-dongle based; demo-created profiles can only be used correctly in ColorLogic applications.
