BRUSSELS, BELGIUM—  Agfa announces that it will increase its offset plate prices worldwide, effective July 1, 2022. Since Q2 last year, Agfa has been implementing quarterly price increases and surcharges to compensate for the significant cost increases it has been facing in raw materials, logistics, energy, packaging material and labor. A double digit increase of the base prices of its offset plates will apply on all orders starting from July 1, 2022. To support its customers in recovering part of the industry-wide cost increases, Agfa is adding new tools to its ECO³ palette of software solutions, allowing its customers to drastically reduce their ink consumption and minimize their paper waste.
