One ink fits all?

At Mexar we believe that each ink formulation should be optimised for each particular OEM partner / printer.

We work alongside OEM partners to deliver the optimum ink formulation for their specific printer.

This partnership ensures that the highest quality ink / printer combination is achieved.

We have found that “one ink does not fit all!”
