INX International expands technical services

The team of experts at INX can help commercial and package printers navigate issues specifically related to ink, including G7 Certification assistance, quality improvement processes and practices, and troubleshooting support.

‘In the past ink choice was little more than a passing thought. In recent years it has become more sophisticated and an important asset to the business community, especially with brand owners,’ said Ron Deegan, senior vice president of North America sales at INX International Ink. 

‘From pressroom assessments and press fingerprinting to product selection and trial support with continuous improvement recommendations, our technical team takes a proactive approach to service. Our structured mindset focuses on increased efficiencies and throughput, waste reduction, quality improvements, and lower applied costs,’ continued Deegan.

One area Deegan believes that offers significant value is G7 Certification assistance. INX has certified IDEAlliance G7 experts and offers resources available for color management best practices.

‘Most corporate brands require printers to submit work to be graded for color and consistency. Combine this with more and more customers requiring printers to be G7 master printers before doing business with them, and you’ll understand the shift in our approach.

‘Our G7 methodology helps printers run a set of standards that is based on a gray balance of Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow, which builds a color palette when printing. The result is the know-how to help printers reach color faster while reducing waste, reproduce jobs on different printing platforms, and match proofs across different print platforms,’ concluded Deegan.
