INX International announces price increase

INX International Ink Co. has announced a price increase effective September 1, citing on-going raw material supply shortages. 

Solvent based white inks and water based white inks will increase in price from 4-6 percent.  Inks containing violet 23 (purple) and water coatings will each increase 8 percent. Water base inks, bases, clears and blends will rise by 2-4 percent, and UV inks and coatings will be increased by 8-10 percent.  

‘These ongoing raw material supply shortages and cost increases are continuing to have a serious impact on printing ink costs, supply and production. Key materials such as titanium dioxide, violet 23, UV monomers and acrylic acids (acrylic resins) have increased in cost and many are now on restricted supply,’ said Rick Clendenning, president of INX International. ‘We understand and respect the fact that all markets are still recovering from the 2008 economic downturn, and we will continue to do everything possible to mitigate printing ink price increases in all markets.’
