Vivid and high impact inks

Lithographic Metallic Inks

High-energy colour that refuses to be ignored.

Litho fluorescent inks use daylight-reactive pigments to deliver colours that appear brighter than physically possible under normal lighting. Printed on our offset presses, they’re unapologetically bold and perfect for work that needs instant impact.
