Flint Group Raising Ink, Varnish Prices

PLYMOUTH, MI—Ongoing raw material trends, including supply shortages, have pushed up the price of pigments, resins and other intermediates used in the manufacture of heatset and directory inks in North America. As a result, Flint Group has announced price increases on those products sold in the United States and Canada. Prices will increase by 6 percent on heatset and directory inks and overprint varnishes, effective July 1, subject to existing contracts.
