SOLVING INK ISSUES -- Inking a Deal

While both companies' offerings are referred to as single-fluid ink, they do differ greatly in chemistry and technology, notes Diane Watt, Flint Ink marketing director.

Both companies will showcase their versions of single-fluid ink technology at PRINT 01, and it appears that Sun Chemical's Drilith W2 will even be available before the show. Sun's Drilith W2 is about to leave beta testing and enter the commercial market, reveals Dick Drong, marketing manager for sheetfed inks. "At this time, production is ramping up and moving forward," he states.
