Schaumburg, IL – Brand owners, designers and metal decorators can expect to find a streamlined approach to achieving high quality decorating on metal packaging this year at MetPack. That’s the message INX International Ink Co. (booth 3C15) will convey with INX Color Perfection™ when MetPack is held, May 2-6 at Messe Essen in Germany.

It begins with the industry’s first-ever INX Color Catalog and includes advanced digital proofing, best-in-class ink and color measurement software. The INX Color Catalog will offer over 600 metal decorating colors with corresponding ink formulations. Supported by licensed software, it enables designers and decorators to access the same colors from the INX Metal Color Library that is available in today’s design programs. Make sure to pre-order your Color Catalog at the show.

INX’s CP100 UV digital cylindrical printer gives designers and brand owners opportunities to create cost efficient short runs, proofs and prototypes in a few seconds. It delivers superior quality single or multi-color images at incredibly fast speeds using the latest in patent pending helical printing software. In booth 3C15, the CP100 will be demonstrated alongside a Roland® VersaCAMM™ digital printer that gives decorators the option to produce can-wrap proofs.

As the industry leader for metal decorating ink technology, INX will also display their best-in-class 2-piece, 3-piece and special effects ink systems at MetPack. The brand enhancing special effects inks INX produces yield finishing characteristics that deliver plenty of shelf attention.
