Kodak to Increase Pricing on Digital and Conventional Plates

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. Details of the new pricing structure will be communicated in April to all customers and dealers. All current contractual commitments will be honored.

[During a media briefing, the company also noted that 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.]
