Inx International assists entry into digital printing with Evolve

Inx International Ink and Inx Digital International have introduced the Evolve branding concept to help traditional printers and converters advance into digital printing with industrial inkjet systems. A comprehensive effort at a number of industry trade shows took place in the last several months to roll out a full range of resources, including integrated systems, chemistry, parts, services and consulting, that are being utilized to help support printers during the transition. 

Evolve was developed to assist conventional printers with the integration of digital inkjet printing into their company’s capabilities. Evolve is made possible through consultation and, if suitable, the development of technology, equipment, ink and support. Whether a company wants to integrate digital technology into its existing operation or explore digital capabilities for the first time, Inx stands ready with products, technologies, systems and services. 

‘Evolve is a concept that will help our traditional customers make the transition into the digital world,’ said Rick Clendenning, president and CEO of Inx International. ‘We see Evolve as an opportunity to introduce new technologies and opportunities to our customers. Digital technologies such as our CP100 UV cylindrical printer can help them expand their portfolios, giving them some new capabilities to develop niche markets.’ 

‘These customers want to go digital. They have the need and the will, and our job is to help them succeed,’ said Ken Kisner, president of Inx Digital International. ‘Evolve Advanced Digital Solutions will promote the wide array of high quality products to help our customers make money. Our expertise is in ink, but we have developed software and machinery for specialty applications and we can make customized inks to meet our customers’ needs.’ 

Inx Digital produces inks and coatings designed for every type of digital printer and print-head technology. This includes solvent, UV-curable, UV LED-curable, aqueous, and thermal and oil piezo inks. For short-run digital prototype packaging and production, Evolve was recently used to introduce the NW100, a new high-speed, single-pass UV LED-curing narrow web printer at Labelexpo Americas 2010 and the new MD1000 UV flatbed printer at Graph Expo.
