Surcharges for printing inks

Inks The Flint Group (Sheetfed Division) has announced price increases for sheetfed offset printing inks for the European market. The company cites the fact that the increasing global demand for energy and chemical raw materials has led to a shortage of raw materials for printing inks as the reason for the adjustments, and even mentions that the price of crude oil has more than doubled since 2003. In addition, further price increases of up to 15 percent for raw materials have had to be accepted in recent months.
