Kodak reports 24 percent sales increase in India

Kodak has reported 24 percent increase in sales volume of Kodak Sonora process free plates in India over the previous year. This sales success was made possible by the combined efforts of Kodak's direct sales and its channel partners in India.  

There are many reasons why more printers in India are joining the well over 6,000 users of Kodak Sonora Process Free Plates around the world. Sonora Plates eliminate electricity, water, developer, replenisher and gumming solution, and clean-out finisher associated with conventional plate processing. Since there isn’t any chemistry used, and no plate processor in need of cleaning and maintenance, there is also no waste chemicals or contaminated residual liquids to be disposed of and Sonora Plates help reduce waste on press.  

Simon Gan, VP, regional sales, GCC/SEA, Kodak, said: ‘We are excited to have reached this very significant milestone with our Sonora Process Free Plates in India. At the same time, we are confident that even more printers will want to benefit from the environmental and efficiency advantages of our process-free plates in the near future. Therefore, we expect the enormous growth of our Sonora Plates business in India to continue in the coming years.’
