Melville, NY (March 12, 2024) – Color Ink, a full-service print shop located in Sussex, WI, boasts a rich legacy of over three decades as a family-owned and operated business. Known for their state-of-the-art facilities and deep-rooted commitment to customer satisfaction, Color Ink has established itself as a reliable partner for businesses seeking top-notch printing solutions. The company has recently elevated its capabilities with the acquisition of a Texas LT/X2 from Canon Solutions America, a strategic investment that strongly reflects Color Ink’s steadfast commitment to adapting to evolving industry demands.
Supported by Canon Solutions America, Color Ink is not only embracing change but actively pursuing expansion.
