XL105 Ink

lol let me clarify that, they source K&E from europe and they source toyo locally...not suggesting they are the same at all!! far from it. The point is, Heidelberg can and do source product from anywhere!

Not as far as you may think, me DIC.

Good point though about the Heidelberg m~y~s~t~e~r~y ink.

Depends which country you are in, here in Aus Saphira is supposed to be Toyo ?

[DIC Australia]

not necessarily Conductivity blues, it was Toyo up until late last year, there is another player supplying them now!

[Lukew]

I was told toyo for PMS, but they wouldnt say for the CMYK
chemwatch lists them as flint/K+E for cmyk

[DIC Australia]

right on the money Lukew!

Interesting Saphira has hit the marketplace with super low prices.
Guessing this doesn't sit well with other manufacturers.
Low ball prices are no good for the industry. Take one look at the amount of print firms that undercut everyone around them killing their opposition then went bust themselves as their practices became unsustainable.
Saphira coming from such a large multinational won't go bust, but they'll do a damn good job of killing off small independent suppliers

When Saphira changes the ink manufacturer they use, do they make the customer aware, or wait & hope they don't suspect a change.

DIC, your PMS colours do you offer more then one type? I know NPS is your full veg.

Well....ive been through this and really must say we use Hei ink.....

Luke, the NPS is our stock standard PMS system, it is 100 % veg oil. We have a couple of other ranges for specialty applications like IML and metallised papers etc.
