Agfa leaves PrintCity

Agfa, one of the original founders, has left PrintCity.

"The PrintCity project has been a very successful one for us," said Agfa vice president of imaging solutions Jan Van Daele. "Drupa 2004 has fully demonstrated that systems from any member company can be integrated seamlessly. JDF connectivity, automation, open architecture are very much a reality in our industry today. We will demonstrate connectivity in our day-to-day business, not just in a consortium or at a trade show."

 

As PrintWeek went to press PrintCity was in the process of preparing a statement regarding the loss of one of the founding firms.

 

Agfa and MAN Roland developed the PrintCity concept for Drupa 2000 to challenge the dominance of Heidelberg and its single supplier stance.
