...since approximately 2000, and has had no role in the marketing or technical support of those chemicals since the bankruptcy in 2012.
KodakAlaris is also out of the chemicals game since 2020.
Most importantly though, almost all of the direct, commercial lab user to film and chemistry...
As KodakAlaris no longer has any role with respect to D-76, I wouldn't expect to see any update from them with respect to a D-76 datasheet.
Of course, with the current Sino Promise situation, it may be the case that no one will ever produce Kodak D-76 anymore.
If you look at the contrast index...
OP, what Don has said is true but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Alaris to do so. The Massive Development Chart lists both the 320 and 400 speed. It has the 320 at 8 mins and the 400 at 6.75 So based on what you have found it looks very much as if the correct time for 400 is 6.75

Europe: Kodak used to manufacture their Chemistry in France. They closed this facility right before the 2012 bankruptcy if I recall right and moved production to Tetenals. When Sino Promise took over Kodak branded photochemistry in 2019 they moved production away from Tetenal. The result were...
...XTOL brand is simply being licensed to different companies? I have some back stock of Tetenal (pre bankruptcy) made XTOL, still owned by KodakAlaris, this made in Germany. And XTOL, Kodak Sino Promise, made in the US. I was under the impression that all current production of XTOL was back in...
Welcome to Photrio.
Have you reached out to "Alaris" - the part of the Kodak business that went as a result of the bankruptcy which is actively involved in document scanning technology.
They have been hived off of KodakAlaris - who market and distribute Kodak photographic still film.
the Movie Negative does come from a different section, and they now use the "Heart" perforators that "smarter every day showed. If you look closely at his examonation of the Heart units on the work bench one was set up for BH perfs and one for KS perfs. they operator told him that the machine...
I don’t believe this is an issue, most bulk rolls have minimal (if any) markings. I know Foma certainly doesn’t. I believe that Ilford has them, however it is little more than frame numbers and “SAFTEY FILM”, not even an ISO. I don’t know if Kodak has edge markings. Honestly seems kind of...
it is posible that the package used depends on the Market. I recall year ago when Fuji and Kodak were fighting hard for market share, one of the dealers brought in Grey market film intended for the japanese market. the boxes were FAR more colourful than the North American boxes. {the flap...
I almost wrote a reference to the vertical "Kodak" in the K logo, as it is used by EK motion picture but not for the still film as far as I have seen. With that in mind, I am a 120 shooter mostly and it's been a year since I last bought any Kodak film (Portra) so these small changes I am not...
...figure.
Eastman Kodak does contract manufacturing for whomever wishes to buy their services, subject to them (EK) having room in their manufacturing capacity.
KodakAlaris have a contract which gives them the right and responsibility to distribute and market Kodak (not Fuji) branded still film.
Well, it's still conceivable that Kodak-produced Fuji film formally goes through Alaris. I don't know what kind of arrangements there may be between the three of them. Maybe @MattKing can comment on this; he's better informed about this than I am.
.../ big sales (Walmart, Meijer, etc) markets, who don't really care, other than they found 400 speed film at their usual store at a 'good price'
Kodak (Rochester), on the other hand, can send a lot of film out the door, without having to deal with the KodakAlaris overhead, hassle, drama, etc.
Eastman Kodak sells 400 feet rolls of Ektachrome 100, beautiful stuff, similar to Provia. Less than a dollar per foot. That's 1/4th what KodakAlaris sells the confectioned 36 exp rolls.
So, here is a reply from KodakAlaris (it took about 3 minutes to write an email and 30 minutes for Thomas Mooney, Director of KodakAlaris Film Capture Product Line, to respond):
Whow! That's a significant savings; $7/roll versus $22. How do you handle the 400' bulk rolls? I opened a 400' bulk roll once and just ended spooling up canisters over 3-4 sittings. I put the unused film back inits' bag, then in the tin, and then all that into a changing bag. It worked...
thats why I have been shooting the ektachrome E100 movie stock. no special processing required, just plane old E-6. the price per roll of the movie stock, sold by Eastman, makes me wonder how much markup kodakalaris is adding per roll.

How would you compare Plus-X to Verichrome Pan? Verichrome is a gap in my knowledge of Kodak lore. I've shot it a couple of times and liked it when I did. Would it be a candidate for resurrection by KodakAlaris?
I think Kodak-Alaris is having a tough time keeping up with demand of their current films. Perhaps once that is sorted, which could take eons...then maybe they can look at bringing back old emulsions. But... I can't see it happening as I think they'd want to stick with what they've got... Tmax...
Not the case in Canada - no such integration.
The Eastman Kodak website used to be similarly complex, as is/was the KodakAlaris site.
Where you logged in from determined what you saw.
I suspect that Harman is in the "Goldilocks" position of being just right in size and product portfolio to stay around.
Who knows? I have enough film I can get through. Hollywood makes Kodak possible.
The holding company is kodakalaris holdings ltd. The uk Pension protection fund (PPF ) is the sole shareholder. The annual report is on the uk companies house website.
KodakAlaris is now structured with two businesses;
- Kodak Moments (and Film).
The KM business comprises prints and photo...
The Alaris pensioners may be pricing Kodak film and the value of its distributorship out of the market. They could wake up one day with no customers and no company worth anything.
It was the only way the KA pensioners could make money from the EK bankruptcy. If they refused the distributorship, they would have gotten nothing and someone else would have bought the rights to the distributorship from the bankruptcy court.
Now it seems KA wants to sell it. They may be...
