Plates and film prices set to soar

Kodak follows Agfa in putting up prices in the face of raw material increases.
Kodak will increase prices of its plate and films by as much as 20 per cent worldwide by 1 July. Price hikes in essential raw materials such as aluminium and silver as well as the cost of petrol are blamed.
"The size of the cost increases we are facing means we cannot absorb them as we have in the past by cutting production costs," said a company executive at drupa.
The move comes after Agfa introduced an aluminium surcharge on plates last month. According to Stefan van Heerin, CEO of the graphics division, the rise is essential and allows customers to see for themselves the increases in the price of raw materials as linked to the London Metal Exchange.
The company is also adjusting its pricing formulas according to customers'
preferences, with Agfa in some cases retaining ownership of the printing
plate, which it subsequently sells to metal recyclers. "We have to recoup the
costs of the expensive raw materials."
Fujifilm also flagged rises in photosensitive materials, especially its photo
paper but according to industry observers the flagged increases, from 10 to 20
percent from July 1, will also apply to selected plate and film products.
