Stockport - Ink specialist Nazdar has welcomed AGA Color Solutions as a partner in the Netherlands, where it will distribute digital and screen printing inks. 

Based in the city of Assen, the roots of AGA Color Solutions go back to the foundation of screen printing business Visprox in 1936, which was later acquired by Kiian. Over the years it evolved into an independent company with a cornerstone in screen printing but expertise in a range of printing processes. 

"AGA Color Solutions strives to be a reliable and knowledgeable partner for its customers and believes in building relationships that last with both customers and suppliers. Hit and run is not what we do," says Ifredo Baas, Managing Director, AGA Color Solutions.

"Being an independent and agile company AGA Color Solutions is better suited to service the local customer base and we're delighted to become a Nazdar partner. Nazdar has played an active role in a changing industry and will continue to help shape the industry going forward. It's a company not crippled by its heritage, but instead using it to help its customers to move forward."

He adds: 'The Nazdar company and its products are innovative yet reliable – showing that the two aspects can go together."

Nazdar inks are developed as plug-and-play alternatives to OEM inks, at a lower price point but equal if not superior in quality, reliability and colour gamut. They are designed for specific printing systems, meaning end users can simply replace OEM cartridges with new Nazdar containers as they run out, with the assurance that they will be colour-matched and safe for their machines. Recent releases, for instance, include the Nazdar LWU705 Series UV ink formulated specifically for HP FB500/700 printers. 

On the partnership, Ronnie Coogan, Territory Manager – Europe, Nazdar Ink Technologies, comments: "We are delighted to be partnering with AGA in Holland. Identifying resellers that share our ethos of delivering quality products and added value is key to how Nazdar continues to grow. 

"AGA's reputation for customer service, technical knowledge and support in screen and digital is second to none. Our partnership will ensure our customers will continue to enjoy the highest standards of product, quality and service in the Netherlands."

AGA Color Solutions has begun the partnership with the addition of Nazdar specialist screen printing inks to its range and has plans to add more product lines, such as digital UV inks, at a later date. Working across the screen and digital printing markets and graphic, industrial and textile applications, Ifredo Baas says 'AGA Color Solutions wants to be the value added partner of choice in all of these segments'.
