"Killing” the Gandi solvent ink product lines will depend highly on the percent revenues and profitability for those product lines in the overall business plan. Solvent technology is especially important for international markets – particularly emerging markets where the (low) cost and durability of solvent based printing equipment and printed products are very compelling. This is an exciting move for Agfa that completes their portfolio offering between Anapurna and the M-Press. They will need to leverage the technology strengths of Gandi Innovations, while investing to stabilize - and then improve the sales channel, service and consumables areas to drive new levels of value and opportunity.
