WATFORD, ENGLAND - July 8, 2005 - Sun Chemical has signed up as an official MetalFX ink maker, meaning that inks for the process metallic colour system are available from the world’s biggest ink company. John Adkin, the European Product Director for Sheetfed and UV inks, said: “As the highest-value supplier of colour-related products and services in the world, we need to keep tabs on the latest breakthroughs in technology. Sun Chemical has been interested in the development of MetalFX for some time now, and interest has now become sufficient in the marketplace for us to become an official MetalFX ink supplier.” Sun Chemical has signed up its first UK distribution point as an outlet for MetalFX inks.
