    Kodak Endura might be back

    ...it states that it was coated or "sensitized" in the USA, and packaged here as well, and not made in China. It also indicates that Kodak Alaris is the party which licensed its manufacture. Perhaps Sino Promise gets a royalty. Dunno. But does the "mfg date" indicate the date of coating, or...

    Kodak Endura might be back

    It works the other way around. If someone licenses the Kodak brand name, it's that 3rd party (the licensee) who decide what product they put it on (within the terms of the licensing agreement) and how that product performs. So if Kodak licensed the name (in this case, 'Kodak Professional') to a...

    Kodak Endura might be back

    I wondered about this, but I wouldn't jump to conclusions. There is a possibility that Alaris only plays a part in the logistics of distribution or order fulfillment for lack of facilities of SinoPromise in the US where the paper is or was made.

    The really remarkable things about that label are the two parts that are highlighted below in red: That tells me that Kodak Alaris has got some or all of the colour paper business back from Sino Promise. What does this mean about the photo chemical business?

    Dark Brown Dektol...FRESHLY MADE???

    It will help to know the batch info. Kodak Alaris with no date or batch marking for mine. I will be using a couple gallons of the brown stuff because press releases say it’s good, but I hit eBay for a few gallons in paper/foil laminate bags. Those laminate bags and tin cans I trust. ( but if...

    What is happening to Cinestill?

    I've had good service from Catlabs. The Reddit post from Omer is exhausting to read. I'm not a customer for films from nearly anyone other than Kodak Alaris, Ilford, Foma and a bit from Fujifilm. So I guess my opinion isn't very important.

    If they're British they would completely understand if you walked in and said 'Here, stop this now. it's quite silly.'

    What is happening to Cinestill?

    Just as soon as you compensate Kodak Alaris for use of the Kodak still film brand. Alaris' lawyers likely don't consider relevant aspects of law "silly." 🙂

    B&H Lists XTOl (5L) as Discontinued

    I'm kind of in that group. I lost some important negatives to the early Xtol not long after it came out. I haven't used it since. I know the problems were supposed to be fixed but there have always been so many alternatives I just haven't been interested in trying again. I understand being...

    B&H Lists XTOl (5L) as Discontinued

    Re: historic problems with Xtol: Steve Anchell did say he got fired from a job due to a failed batch of Xtol. If he is harboring a grudge about that, it didn't prevent Anchell and Troop in FDC 2nd ed. p. 61 from describing Xtol as the latest evolution of the solvent developer. Part of it is that...

    B&H Lists XTOl (5L) as Discontinued

    I'm now using Adox XT-3 instead of Xtol. I use XT-3 replenished the same as I did Xtol and so far I'm more than happy with the switch.

    I have been using XTOL for over a decade and never had a sudden death or any other problem. Anyone knowing what they are doing developing film will always test a developer before using it to develop film especially if the developer has not been used for a long time. Therefore, I always test...

    Kodak committed to making film "as long as there's demand"

    I'm curious where you see the still film sales to KA $ amount on the EK financial reports. Every distributor who has an exclusive manufacturer is both dependent on that manufacturer, and is in a strong position with respect to that manufacturer. And vice-versa. There is an interdependence there...

    Alaris selling Kodak film is an exclusive. Alaris selling other films means they're competing with other distributors already well established with retailers.

    ...of film to Alaris at $15 per roll and revenue from this somehow amounts not to $300m but $70m as reported in their financial statement. Kodak Alaris must be run by the biggest idiots ever. They wrote off $2.8bn in debt and paid additional $650m to end up hostage to Eastman Kodak. Believe...

    ...terms when the first agreement was negotiated. And there is no doubt they did even more dictating when the effects of the pandemic put Kodak Alaris into breach and a forced re-negotiation happened thereafter. But Kodak Alaris has a lot of power in the relationship as well, because there is...

    Kodak committed to making film "as long as there's demand"

    I don't know. Why not? I can't see Eastman Kodak dictating any terms to Alaris. Considering the history, it's pretty much the other way around. I'm sure they would love to buy Foma films for 1 EUR and sell them for 6 EUR, but Foma owes Alaris nothing and they are not stupid. Neither are...

    Yes. But could their contractual obligations permit them to expand their business and distribute non-Kodak films? And would they want to?

    Alaris only markets Kodak films produced by Eastman Kodak. That is a fact. If Henning says otherwise, he is wrong. I've explained why it doesn't make sense for Alaris to price BW film more aggressively to be more competitive.

    Kodak committed to making film "as long as there's demand"

    You misinterpret my sarcasm as reality. Of course Eastman Kodak doesn't directly establish the retail prices of still film. That doesn't mean it isn't driving the extravagant increases in those prices. Making the leap from those overall figures to dismissal of Eastman Kodak as the driver of...

    Kodak committed to making film "as long as there's demand"

    Eastman Kodak on average can't possibly get more than about $4 per roll from Alaris (probably less). I really can't see Alaris complaining. Hell, Alaris clearly state that their revenue from film went up 38% in last fiscal year alone because of favourable shifts in pricing and quantity. EK...

    Kodak committed to making film "as long as there's demand"

    I don't think Kodak is suicidal. But they could be too greedy. If that happens, then overall sales will drop and they'll have to adjust their pricing. What I'm curious about is how Eastman Kodak and Alaris arrive at their price points and markups. Is there a discussion between them about that in...

    You've taken that from where? I've been reading the financial reports from Eastman Kodak and Alaris for years now. Alaris' increase in Film revenue is growing at about 30+% per year (exception was 2021 with only about 10% increase due to Covid). They cite increased volume and price as a reason...

    Well, if Kodak raises their prices to Alaris, those increases are felt at the retail level as well.

    Nope. I've no idea. I'm just an Internet poster who jumps in to contribute uninformed nonsense. A user of Kodak products since 1962. A PHOTRIO (nee APUG) member since 2005. I know nothing. :)
