Kodak vs Agfa

[Phil]

Since Kodak informed our company that it will stop servicing our 13 year old Trendsetter and 5 year old Evo, I was wondering if anyone could compare Kodak to Agfa. Quality, service, smoothness of workflow.

Don't forget about Screen. We migrated to a PlateRite 4300 after Kodak stopped servicing the Lotem and the Screen had much less downtime. Really is pretty solid for being so complex.

Kodak continues to support the Trendsetter line of CTP equipment; the support limitations are only applicable for the first vintages of Trendsetters which use really old MPE electronics & SCSI communication to the computer for which the industry has obsolete parts supply constraints. Kodak however will continue to support customers on a best effort basis beyond the official end of service date in December 2016.

For Prinergy EVO Workflow, the support limitations which take effect in June of this year only impact the 4.x version. Customers under service contract are eligible for free upgrades to later version of the software.

If you are unsure if you have one of these affected machines or would like information, don’t hesitate to contact me.
