Tokyo Ink announced on April 27th that it will be revising the prices of some of its products.
The price revision will apply to all offset ink-related products. The revision is being implemented because the supply of crude oil and naphtha, which are key raw materials, is tight, and soaring market prices have led to increases in the prices of raw materials such as pigments, resins, additives, and solvents. Rising costs such as logistics, energy, and container costs are also cited as contributing factors.
These changes will apply to products shipped from June 1, 2026 onwards, and the price revisions are expected to be 20% or more, or 30% or more, depending on the product.
