Printing ink manufacturers blend, grind, and formulate inks for commercial printing, packaging, and digital printing applications. Operations typically involve receiving and storing pigments, resins, solvents, and other chemical raw materials; milling or dispersing pigments into vehicles or carriers; quality control testing; and packaging finished product for shipment to commercial printers, converters, and OEM inkjet cartridge assemblers.
Questions to investigate
- What ink chemistries are produced — solvent-based, water-based, UV-curable, oil-based — and in what proportions?
- What are the raw materials, and are any classified as acutely hazardous or subject to OSHA PSM or EPA RMP thresholds?
- What end-use markets are served — commercial printing, food packaging, pharmaceutical labeling, digital OEM — and what certifications or compliance obligations apply?
- What is the facility's environmental compliance history, including any prior spills, regulatory notices, or remediation activity?
