►Stanley's Sign & Screen Supply - InkTech SCO-0000 Series

InkTech Scratch-Off Ink, SCO-0000 Series

Inktech International was incorporated in 1992, and as a privately owned company have accumulated a vast knowledge of the screen printing industry. Prior to forming Inktech, many of us worked within various aspects of the industry, each bringing a fresh perspective of what the industry was missing. We recognized a lack of respect and dedication between ink manufacturers/suppliers and their customers, which often occurs with the lack of competition. Although our initial objective was to renew the respect that a supplier should have for it's customers, and build a partnership with them, we have also raised the bar for quality, service and price.
