Kodak, Sun Chemical Announce Price Increases

Increases for digital plates will be in the range of 5 to 10 percent, while the increase for conventional plates will be between 15 and 20 percent.

Customers and dealers will receive details of the new pricing structure. All current contractual commitments will be honored.

During a conference call with Printing Impressions, company officials also noted the decline in conventional plate usage among U.S. printers has altered the economies of scale for that product segment, which contributed to the larger percentage price increase compared to digital plates.
