The people behind the ink

Three teams make the ink and look after it once it is on your press, and a converter works with all of them.

    Chemists

    Match a grade to your substrate, your press and your line speed, match a colour to your standard, and develop a new formulation where the catalogue stops.

  • Hands working the feed of a printing press

    Technicians

    Check the ink from raw material to finished batch, test it for performance and consistency, and support it once it is running on your press.
