The worldwide market for these inks is estimated to be at least twice that of the domestic market. Because of this significant potential market, we formulated news, sheetfed, and heatset web offset inks using 100% vegetable oil based vehicles. Physical properties and performance of these inks meet or exceed the industry standards. |
