Many changes are occuring in the U.S printing ink industry. Digital printing is having an impact on traditional ink products, and ink jet is making inroads in applications now held by lithography, screen and other inks. Further trends are occuring in waterborne, waterless, and specialty inks. Electronics inks, a new technique, bear watching.
All of these topics are covered in detail in the new Rauch Guide to the US Ink Industry.
