The Situation on Ink

Michael Impastato, vice president of market development at Flint Ink North America Packaging Division, added, "The issue of shrinking margins is a real issue in the industry. In order to provide the services the printing industry has come to expect, and invest in the development of new technology, ink companies need to be able to earn a reasonable profit. When this is not possible, there is an impact on services, reinvestment is harder, and technology suffers."
