AGFA Proofing Paper
Manufacturers gravitate to the proofing market from several seamless directions, while Agfa may not yet be a dominant name in the printer market it definitely is a household name left over from the days of developing and printing 35mm film. It is just a little jump from photo printing to proofing paper and the finished printed product. On its website Agfa makes the bold statement that one out of two printing professionals are Agfa customers. Whether this is true or not Agfa has an impressive array of printing media available for the printing industry from its Agfa Graphics business division under the names SherpaProof and AgfaJet.
