One Ink for All, All for One Ink!
One common ink for all printheads is what ‘Image One Inks’ or simply ‘1 Inks’ signifies in the market as a registered brand of inks marketed by Hyderabad-based PRK Sales Corporation. The company’s ultimate approach is to provide one common ink for all printheads and all printheads rely on it.
PRK Sales Corporation has been servicing the large-format printing industry since 2007. “We started with importing and marketing flex and vinyl media. However, with time we limited our scope to supplying quality printing inks. Today, we are the largest stockist of solvent inks in the Southern region,” says Rakesh Kapur, Partner, PRK Sales Corporation.
