"Kerley Ink is one of the oldest remaining privately-owned ink manufacturing companies in the United States. It was officially founded in 1947 by Raymond Ambrose Kerley, but the company's roots in the graphic arts go back considerably farther than that. As a matter of fact, they go all the way back to 1909, the year that the famous Indian Chief Geronimo died.

In that same year, the then 16 year-old future founder of Kerley Ink took the New York Central railroad from Schenectady, New York to Chicago to seek his fortune. There he found work as a ""printer's devil"" near downtown Chicago in a shop named The Regensteiner Press. The rest, as they say, is history.

Even back in the 1920's and 1930's, Ray was quick to understand the significance of the revolution in mass communication that was taking place in America. Ray saw during his career as a printing professional how the business of large-volume printing had been growing at a nearly explosive rate since the late 1800's. By the end of the 1920's, Ray Kerley had risen to the job of pressroom superintendent at The Cuneo Press in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. By that time, Ray realized that there were many new pressrooms being constructed all across the nation, and that there was a concurrent boom in the business of companies that supplied those new pressrooms. An opportunity presented itself: start an ink manufacturing company to supply printing and converting firms in Wisconsin. Ray left his job in Milwaukee in 1932 for the town of Menasha, Wisconsin to start up the Lake States Printing Ink Company in an abandoned brewery."

ErgaFlex™ is a UV-cure flexographic ink series for printing on paper, board, film, tag &amp; label substrates. ErgaFlex MP 1000 UV-cure flexo ink is primarily intended for use with fine-screen Anilox rollers in the 800-1200 lpi range. Use ErgaFlex™ for tag &amp; label printing. Kerley Ink has designed ErgaFlex™ inks to be very stable in-fountain, so press operators will spend less time checking and adjusting ink to concentrate on printing product. ErgaFlex is relatively free of mineral fillers like clay extenders, so color strength and print fidelity are optimized. Scuff resistance and holdout is usually excellent, and ErgaFlex inks will often pass tape pull tests where other brands will not.
