Creo to hold first user forum since Kodak takeover

Kodak Graphic Communications Group (GCG) is to hold its first users conference since it bought Creo earlier this year.

The first Kodak GCG Pre-press and Digital Users Conference expands on the previous Creo Users Association and will focus on Creo and NexPress technology.

It will take place on 4-7 October in Barcelona, and will feature seminars, courses and demonstrations of the firm's latest kit.

Keynote speakers include EMEA managing director Israel Sandler (pictured) and Andrew Copley, managing director, global sales and marketing.

Kodak GCG European board member Paul Bartsch said that the conference would give the 3,300 Creo and Kodak GCG users worldwide "a chance to be heard, as we help define the relationship users will have with the new Kodak GCG".

The firm will also show a raft of upgraded equipment at next month's LabelExpo in Brussels.

A new, more automated version of PDF packaging workflow Prinergy Powerpack will launch with a price tag of just over 17,500.

Visitors to Brussels will also see the ThermoFlex Narrow flexo platesetter, costing around 96,860, and the latest versions of Synapse InSite and Synapse Link.
