Supply Strategies

In today’s marketplace of falling margins and increasing competition, we all need to focus attention on driving down costs. It is always possible to buy cheaper inks but this normally results in false economy. The end result will probably be to bring the following costs into your operation.

• Increased down time through poor product performance
• Time lost through inconsistent products
• Poor stock control – unavailability, wrong products
• Inefficient plant utilisation through unsuitable products

We believe that a more realistic route to cost reduction, is through the implementation of a dedicated ink management strategy, focusing on all aspects of ink supply – start to finish. This is achieved through use of consignment stock, utilising the most modern ink management hardware and software systems, QC assured product consistency, options on recycling of redundant stock and, last but not least, waste disposal. We can provide a PC based weighing and blending system, fully installed with our comprehensive colourshade database. This will not only ensure that you get the right ink to the press at the right time, every time, but also allows returns to be accurately logged, giving a real potential for cost savings through waste minimisation.
