Its appointment follows on from an earlier distribution agreement between the two companies, announced in October, which confirmed TPS as the UK stockist for Shackell Edwards’ range of inks, varnishes and sealers.

The new agreement will see TPS customers benefit from an extended range of inks and varnishes. According to Shackell the Silkoseal sealers, which are available in seven different varieties, including hard dry, quick set, matt and gloss products, are fast drying, non-yellowing, scuff and scrub resistant, with low tack and fast back-up for work and turn.

Paperlinx business development director Steve Brading said: "Silkoseal is an exciting development in silk coating and we are delighted to be the UK’s exclusive stockist. Robert Horne and PaperCo customers, via TPS, will have full access to the complete Shackell Edwards portfolio, giving them the maximum choice of quality inks and varnishes. "
