Our corporate office negotiated a deal with Agfa and made us switch from Kodak. Only lasted about a year as our employees complained of the smell when the plates were imaged. Not sure why they did but months later when we switched to Fuji, we had happy employees again. My only issue with them was the senior management in Canada. A bit of advice to them. You have good products so there is no reason to lie to your customers. Once you lose trust, you have lost that customer for ever.
