Sun Chemical

Sun Chemical, a member of the DIC Group.

Star Graphic Supplies is not a dealer for Sun Chemical.

A global leader in the manufacture of printing inks, pigments, coatings, and functional materials. Founded (in its current form) in 1945 with roots going back to earlier ink makers, the company has grown to support packaging, publication, industrial and specialty markets worldwide. 

In the printing space, Sun Chemical supplies a wide portfolio:

Sheetfed and web offset inks, gravure inks, digital inkjet materials, overprint varnishes, specialty effect coatings, adhesives, and pigment dispersions. The company also invests heavily in advanced materials and electronic applications—resins, display materials, color management tools, and functional coatings are part of its broader materials portfolio. 

For offset printers, Sun Chemical is well-established and trusted for consistency, technical support, and global supply.

Because of its scale and R&D resources, it often leads or follows industry shifts in sustainability, regulatory compliance, and new ink technologies. Use your Sun Chemical overview pages later to highlight local plants, regional capabilities, and service philosophy.
