ROCHESTER, NY—April 4, 2014—Tripp Co. has been serving clients in the Northeast since 1946, offering a wide range of consumables and services for the graphic arts industry. Now, as part of Kodak’s Gold Reseller Network, Tripp Co. is increasing its offerings to include the full line of Kodak Solutions for workflow, prepress, and packaging applications.

The Gold Reseller Network features highly trained and experienced channel partners who are committed to and aligned with Kodak’s vision for the graphics business. Gold Resellers carry Kodak’s full portfolio of solutions and services for prepress and packaging customers across the United States and Canada.

In addition to the outstanding customer service and technical expertise that Tripp Co. has always provided, its customers will now have access to a more robust line of solutions to optimize efficiency and ensure the highest quality output. The company will continue to work with customers to determine and integrate the best solutions to meet their specific requirements.
