Kodak Completes Expansion of its Digital Plate Facility in Columbus, GA

First opened in 1990 by Sun Chemical for the production of Polychrome-branded printing plates, the Columbus facility has undergone several previous improvements to increase production quality and capacity. Kodak entered into a joint venture with Sun Chemical in 1998 to form Kodak Polychrome Graphics, and in 2005 Kodak Polychrome Graphics became a wholly owned subsidiary of Kodak. The facility currently produces a broad portfolio of conventional and digital plates including Kodak Thermal Platinum Digital Plates, Kodak Sword Excel Thermal Plates, Kodak NS Digital Newspaper Plates, Kodak Thermal Gold Digital Plates and Kodak Newsworthy, Kodak Winner Gold and Kodak Craftsman Negative Plates. Kodak Thermal Platinum Digital Plates are the premier choice for high quality, long run lengths and aggressive printing conditions.
