The two companies, which have been working closely together since Ipex, will also offer a range of fount solutions aimed at giving good print results and maintaining pressperformance.

Paperlinx business development director Steve Brading said: "The collaboration will see our TPS customers benefiting from first-rate materials for the printing industry. They can be confident that by purchasing from their existing and well-trusted supplier of press-room and paper consumables they will have the backing of TPS’s comprehensive UK technical support team."

Böttcher UK managing director Stephen Hannon, said: "We have been working closely with Paperlinx since Ipex; we have a complementary portfolio in that the majority of their business is paper and the lion’s share of Böttcher’s is printing rollers. One of the product ranges we are focusing on together is access to roller maintenance and care, including specially designed products to remove ingrained deposits.

"The partnership involves giving TPS access to our branded portfolio and technical support while we benefit from their nationwide coverage."
