With the economy being what it is we are all concerned with what things cost. Like most commodities imagesetting film has seen a steady rise in price. The reason, silver, silver is one of the main components in imagesetting film. As silver continues to increase in price so will imagesetting film. You might want to watch the silver market to gage if the cost of film will continue to rise. You may also want to watch and see if the Federal Reserve continues to print money, if they do the cost of silver will definitely continue to rise and so will film. If you use a lot of film you may want to order some extra rolls if you think silver will continue to rise. You may also consider investing in a silver recovery unit to pull out the silver that ends up in the fixer, you can then sell the silver to help offset the cost of the film.

Film Prices Going Up Again – DEI Absorbing the Increase … Again
Sometime between December 3, 2012 & December 15, 2012 most film suppliers will be raising their imagesetting film prices again. The increase could be as much as 5%, possibly more. We at DEI Systems understand that at this particular time, with the economy like it is, most printers can’t afford even a small price increase on imagesetting film.
Therefore, DEI Systems has decided NOT to pass this increase on to our customers. It is our hope that this will be the last increase we see for awhile, as we most likely won’t be able to absorb another increase.
We are doing it to keep the industry competitive. We know many of you are having to bite the bullet, we will do all we can to help!
