New Textile Printing Inks Collaboration Announced Between PolyOne Wilflex and Ryonet

September 6, 2016

CLEVELAND – PolyOne today announced that Ryonet, a leading supplier of screen-printing equipment and supplies, will now be distributing Wilflex™ EPIC™ inks. 
    
Vancouver, WA-based Ryonet was founded by Ryan Moor in 2004, and has established itself as an authority and trailblazer in the screen-printing industry.

Ryonet supports its large customer base efficiently and effectively through its ecommerce platform and national distribution footprint, specializing in products and training tailored to new and enterprising printers. 

By teaming up with Ryonet, Wilflex Inks will be able to reach these entrepreneurial textile printers and better assist them with a service model geared to their needs.  

Peter Juhl, global marketing director for Wilflex Inks, said, “With this new relationship, entrepreneurial printers can now easily take advantage of our high quality products to help expand their businesses. As these printers grow, they are demanding higher performance from their inks. Together, Wilflex and Ryonet will be able to meet their needs.”

Ryan Moor, Ryonet founder and CEO, commented, “The success of every screen printer is central to what we do. Starting from the moment we show how to flood a screen, to the presses built to last for generations, to the ink that decorates the shirt. This new collaboration with PolyOne will allow us to serve the textile printing market with industry-leading inks.”

As part of the relationship, Ryonet will be launching a new range of Wilflex™ co-branded textile inks called Ryonet^® EPIC™ Lava™. The range will be launched at the upcoming SGIA Show in Las Vegas, September 14-16, and will be exclusively available through Ryonet (www.screenprinting.com) on September 14, 2016.
