Agfa Graphics Implements Price Increase for Prepress Printing Plates

Agfa Graphics announced a global price increase program for its prepress printing plates. Depending on the different contracts, markets and regions, substantial price increases of up to 10% will be implemented immediately.
 
“Soaring prices of aluminum – the largest cost component of a printing plate – are the main reason for this decision,” said Stefaan Vanhooren, president of Agfa Graphics. “However, thanks to the increased intrinsic recycle value of the used printing plates, the price increase will not necessarily result in a cost increase for our customers.”
