Alfred Kandarah, Managing Director at Typotech Imaging Systems Ltd, a printing company based in Kenya, talks about the solutions provided by Typotech. The company focuses essentially on prepress equipment, workflow and consumables.

"As a company, our strength has been prepress. We focus essentially on prepress equipment, workflow and consumables. Anything you print will depend on what you have originated. If you have a poor-quality origination, then that will reflect in your duplicates down the line. We have represented Kodak over the years and we still do. In the area of prepress equipment, we are talking about computer to plate technology. The legendary Kodak Trendsetter technology is the buzzword as far as CTP is concerned in the region. Over the entire African region, we have had over 55 units in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Ethiopia to date. When we introduced the computer to plate technology in 2006, the whole region was using analog prepress technology. Computer to plate has now been embraced so well, specifically the Trendsetter brand of CTP technology. We have been marketing this brand for almost 20 years now in the region. You do not need to be an extremely well-trained person as far as workflow is concerned. The days of color management solutions whereby you needed a color expert to do your color separation and define your colors is now gone. Anyone who has been trained in elementary design process can use the technology and achieve very high-end work and complex jobs because the workflow has simplified that process. We pride ourselves in having introduced this technology in the region and that it has been embraced, specifically the computer to plate technology which is the dominant prepress technology here and the Kodak Prinergy Workflow which is one of the most prominent solutions in prepress in East Africa at the moment", says Alfred Kandarah.
