About Blue Ocean Inks

Blue Ocean Inks is where deep formulation experience meets modern ink innovation.
We manufacture custom printing inks — and uniquely, we also offer a complete formulation service so that our clients can make their own inks. For over four decades, our founder Terence Kenneth has advanced ink and coating technologies across three continents, crafting more than 100,000 formulations for clients ranging from global ink makers to niche converters and material producers.

What sets us apart isn’t just chemistry — it’s collaboration. Every formulation we create starts with your specific process, substrates, and performance targets. Whether you need a fast-drying solvent system for film packaging, a UV-curable conductive ink, or an eco-friendly ink optimized for digital printing, we design the ink around you.

Our lab-to-press workflow ensures each system is validated under real production conditions before it reaches your hands. You can choose between:

• Custom-manufactured inks, made to your specifications, or

• Proprietary formulation guides, allowing your own team to produce the ink locally with full transparency and control.

We’re proud to serve ink developers, printers, and material innovators worldwide, providing formulation expertise, reliability, and speed — with average turnaround times of 1–2 weeks and direct access to an ink expert for technical guidance.

At Blue Ocean Inks, we believe innovation should flow freely. Together, we’ll build the next generation of inks — faster, cleaner and smarter.
