From 2 April, UV screen inks and screen-making supplies will rise by 3% and all other inks, solvents, emulsions and screen-making chemicals will rise by 6%. Digital inks are exempted from this round of price increases.

The firm has blamed rises in utilities, packaging and transport costs for the increases.

"Despite a proactive programme to absorb this movement, we continue to experience tight supply and significant price increases on many key raw materials," said Fujifilm Sericol UK commercial director Nigel McNae.

"We have been addressing costs within our own business, but the rises are essential to maintain the high level of product performance and support our customers expect," he added.
