Agfa has signed up to use Preps until the end of 2005 and extended the deal to include packaging step-and-repeat tool Pandora.
"Of course I would prefer an independent ScenicSoft. But given the situation, we feel comfortable," said Agfa general manager digital solutions Johan Berlaen. "I was pleased with the open spirit of Creo during the negotiations. This is a win-win deal," Berlaen added.
"It was potentially the biggest stumbling block," said Creo corporate vice president marketing Boudewijn Neijens. "Agfa is good news."
Creo signed the deal to acquire ScenicSoft on 16 August.
