What Triangle does
Triangle operates as a product brand of INX International Ink Co., a privately held specialty ink manufacturer that traces its roots to 1896 and is headquartered in Schaumburg, Illinois. The company manufactures and sells premium digital inkjet inks under the INXJet brand for commercial, industrial, and packaging printing applications. Its product portfolio spans six ink chemistries — eco solvent, mild solvent, true solvent, aqueous, UV curable, and Greenguard-certified inks — plus supporting consumables including cleaning fluids, adhesion promoters, liquid laminate, and an electronics-solutions line.
The core technology proposition is broad OEM and printhead compatibility: INXJet inks are formulated to work with printers and printheads from Agfa, DGI, Dimatix, EFI (VUTEk, Reggiani, Jetrion), Epson (DX4/5/7/TFP, i3200, t3200), Flora, HandTop, HP (Scitex, FB500/700/900), Inca, Konica Minolta (1024i), Kyocera (KJ4A/KJ4B), Liyu, Ricoh (G4/G5), and Seiko Colorpainter. Manufacturing is distributed across North America, Europe, and Asia, with a regional EMEA headquarters in Prague and a dedicated color-center capability for ICC profile generation and color-management training.
The business model is B2B sales of formulated consumables — primarily inks, with adjacent functional fluids — to digital print operators, packaging converters, textile printers, and specialty-application printers. Go-to-market is executed through a global dealer network providing local technical support, field service, head cleaning, and printer conversion services, supplemented by a direct sales contact line for Americas/Asia-Pacific and EMEA. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers obtain quotes based on ink type, volume, and printer compatibility. The value proposition centers on warranty-backed drop-in alternatives to OEM consumables (e.g., TRIANGLE XJL for EFI Jetrion), multi-OEM compatibility, and global hands-on support infrastructure.
