Oswestry – Shropshire – August 2026 - Fujifilm Ink, the UK-based global supplier of UV inkjet technology, has strengthened its partnership with China Print Supplies UK Ltd (CPS), becoming the recognised ink supplier for the company's range of Dlican UV printing systems.
The partnership follows the successful rollout of Fujifilm Ink's thermoforming flexible ink technology, reinforcing the company's commitment to delivering high-performance, application-specific ink solutions for the wide-format print market.
As the recognised ink supplier for CPS, Fujifilm Ink will provide UV ink solutions across the distributor's Dlican portfolio, including UV flatbed, UV visual positioning, UV hybrid and UV cylindrical printers.
The partnership ensures customers benefit from proven ink performance, consistent colour quality, and reliable production across a wide range of industrial and commercial printing applications.
Alongside machinery, CPS offers a complete solution that includes consumables, RIP software, colour profiling, installation, training and ongoing technical support, helping customers maximise the performance of their investment.
The decision to partner with Fujifilm Ink reflects CPS's commitment to supplying premium-quality products backed by exceptional service and long-term reliability.
Scott Clutton, Managing Director of China Print Supplies UK, said: "We wanted to make sure we had the best, compliant, long-term ink solution to go with our printers. The more I spoke to people in the industry whose opinions I respect, the more obvious it became that Fujifilm Ink was the only choice.
"Providing long-term support, along with guaranteed availability of consumables such as ink, is hugely important to us as we continue to grow our business and reputation. Knowing the ink is manufactured here in the UK by Fujifilm made the decision even more of a no-brainer."
Its extensive ink portfolio is supported by rigorous quality control, robust regulatory compliance, and a secure global supply chain, giving customers confidence in both product performance and long-term availability.
Shaun Holdom, Commercial Director, Fujifilm Ink commented ‘Successful OEM partnerships are built on far more than supplying ink. They are founded on collaboration, shared expertise and a commitment to engineering solutions that enable our partners to differentiate themselves in the market. By working together with China Print Supplies, from the earliest stages of development, we’ve created a UV ink platform that has been optimised for their technology, delivering performance, reliability and application flexibility their customers demand’.
By combining Fujifilm Ink's industry-leading ink technology with CPS's extensive portfolio of Dlican printing systems and customer-focused support, the partnership offers businesses a complete, high-performance printing solution designed to meet the demands of today's competitive print industry.
