About the Business
Steve Wood Services was founded in 1982 when Steve Wood opted to carve his own career, having worked as an ink chemist and print technologist for two well known national ink manufacturers and a local printing supplies company in the North of England.

Working from a rented office close to York city centre, the first five years were dedicated to the supply of consumables such as inks, plates, blankets, chemicals & sundries to the litho printers in the area. Specialities included ink matching and supply in both small and large quantities. Emphasis was made to supply quality “known brand” commodities which gave customer satisfaction and required little field support.

Some products used by the litho industry were also bought by screenprinters in the area who expressed a local need for a supplier of screenprinting supplies.

Getting the colour right can be a pain, especially with today’s demand for precision colour matchings. If you’ve had to blend a batch of ink, you’ll know that it’s not just a messy, time consuming and costly operation, but can involve making far more than is needed, proofing and corrections involve downtime and material wastage, If the job repeats, can you be sure to make exactly the same mix again?
