In-house Ink Lab
Ink lab
Everything starts in our ink lab where our chemists combine their technical know-how with state of the art technology. This allows them to produce bespoke solutions for our clients.
Our aim has always been to create experience and feeling through print, and our inks and specialist coatings allow us to do that.
Ink production
Once we have formulated your ink solution on a small scale in our lab, the next stage is to go into large scale production in our in-house print production unit, ensuring all formulations are consistent and repeatable.
You need to know that your printed product is consistent across the whole run and you also need to know next time you ask us to print for you everything is uniform, we can guarantee that using our unique colour matching systems.
Specialist Inks
Once we have brought your ideas to life in our lab and made your unique ink in our production unit, we can deliver on your creative vision on our print floor.
Our specialist inks are optimised to work on our screen and digital presses, guaranteeing unrivalled impact across, retail, out-of-home and potentially anywhere else your communication may be seen.

PEOPLE STORIES
Kishore
General Manager - Ink Development
Approaching the 30-year mark of my career, I joined Augustus Martin’s Ink lab following my Chemistry degree graduation. I have only ever had one professional role, and this has been right here. I joined as a lab assistant and have never looked back. Progressing through to R&D manager to now, the General Manager of the whole ink business within Augustus Martin. To this day, developing new products and unique ink effects still intrigues and excites me. As long as what we do makes a difference, this is motivating enough.
Although the team around me is small, the work that they put in is second to none and our collaborative approach is something we all love.
