Materials Increases Prompts Sun to Raise Ink Prices

The new prices take effect Sept. 15. Previously, INX International announced price increases. According to Sun Chemical, the volatility in raw materials and energy costs during the past two years have significantly impacted the ink industry. Non-traditional factors that began earlier this year to impact the price of major feedstocks and raw materials continue, including supply base consolidation and capacity curtailment, significant decline in refinery margins and rationalized operating rates to meet diminished demand.
