INX HFB Digital Inks Poised to Attract Attention at FASTSIGNS Convention

INX HFB Digital Inks

The annual FASTSIGNS International Convention is a great opportunity for independent and franchise owners to share success stories, and this year’s event will be no exception. When it takes place January 23-26 in Las Vegas, it will mark the fifth year since the TRIANGLE brand HFB UV Curable digital inks from INX International Ink Co. began making an  impact on the sign industry.

HFB is fast curing and offers flexibility and high chemical resistance while reducing chipping and peeling. It not only vastly outperforms OEM inks in most categories, but this premium ink also offers substantial savings to operators using HP Scitex industrial printers. It is optimized for series models FB500, FB550, FB700, FB750, FB900, and FB950.

Evan Lyons, Western Regional Sales Manager for INX, says HFB’s across-the-board benefits ring the bell for the end-users and resellers he works with.

“HFB provides a value proposition of healthy profit margins for both groups. For our resellers it’s ideal for repeat sales in the long run, which is vitally important in our ever-competitive marketplace,” he stated. “For end-users, it’s a more economical solution per liter compared to OEMs. Color performance and our expanded color options are important factors in helping satisfy corporate brand guidelines to match specific colors and density.”

Mitch Roberts, VP of Lee’s Screen Process Supply in Stafford, Texas, is one reseller who supports Lyons’ comments. Established in 1950, they have enjoyed success selling HFB since 2017 and are a trusted, go-to source of screen printing and digital graphic supplies. Lee’s has a diverse customer base, ranging from small local printers to nationwide internet-based print suppliers.

“We partnered with TRIANGLE and INX because they are a multibillion-dollar ink manufacturer with a very long history of producing high quality alternative inks. The value proposition of HFB to companies on the HP Scitex platform is seriously impactful from a print quality and economic standpoint,” said Roberts, who has been with the company for 22 years.

“We have converted over 150 clients, and the ink is fantastic, so the clients stay with the product and that helps us continue to grow. We are adding new clients all the time, and we have never had one go back to the OEM once they have been converted.”
