US Ink Corporation dates back in the news ink marketplace to the later 1800s. The company we know it as now, US Ink Corporation, was formed in 1993 through a merger between U.S. Printing Ink and the News Ink Division. This company actually belongs to a larger company, the Sun Chemical Corporation, who is a leader in global graphic arts. US Ink has 8 regional manufacturing locations across the country, including one in Jacksonville, as an attempt to put their company as close to the consumers as possible.
US ink also conducts ongoing research in the field. They lead the industry thanks to their introduction of quality, “new-generation” products, such as soy-based inks. Products also include: black, color, and scented inks in different strengths and forms like “Speed Set” and “Aquanews.”
