    Neither Eastman Kodak nor Kodak Alaris have excess capital. And they would need excess capital to either sell product at a loss leader price, or to attain greater economies of scale by hugely increasing production. Their costs have exploded!

    So it's Alaris. Is it Kodak or Alaris who sells Aerocolor IV to the middle men?

    Except that Kodak (the one that makes the film) doesn't sell you Portra or Color Plus. Alaris does. Just read Eastman Kodak financial statements to get the idea where the gougleflation comes from.

    For me it reads more like they are stopping to accept new orders until they fulfill the old ones As for the 5.99 price, since Fuji most likely bought a master-roll, which is technically not considered a consumer imaging product, Alaris could not dictate their price. For me a much more...

    I suspect you are correct. Film manufacture requires quite a bit of cash committed up front on materials and so this maybe a limiting factor on how much Alaris can have on order at any one time. It easy to forget eastman is the manufacturer now only for still films, so other than any contractual...

    when we hear that SinoPromise is having trouble getting stock, and The Kodak Pension fund who owns Kodak Alaris has had to call for help, one does sometimes get that aching acid indigestion that perhaps alaris is limited in the amount of product that they can commit to order at a time? Eastman...

    Fuji willing to pay more than the contract rate in the deal with Alaris? contract entered into some time ago before they realized that Kodak Brand film might be in short supply?

    Kodak Alaris has two parts. One part is actively growing the business document scanning and handling business that they received as part of the bankruptcy settlement. It is now operated separately under the name "Alaris". The remaining business is the worldwide marketing and distribution...

    I am not exactly certain of the full involvement Alaris has with the remaining parts of the old Kodak company in America. However I do believe (I was told by a previous employee) That Alaris was founded after the company in Hemel Hempstead in England folded and was based or owned by the pensions...

    I am currently using Aerocolor IV and like it much more than Colorplus 200. Superb color, extremely fine grain, 40% cheaper than Colorplus!

    Eastman Kodak in America manufacturers Kodak film and sells it to Kodak Alaris in Great Britain who resells the film to stores like B&H. So there are two markups. Kodak Aerocolor is not consumer film and I don;t believe is resold by Alaris. You;re comparing a film wih a particular use to...

    Eastman Kodak doesn't, but Kodak Alaris might very well coordinate with the local distributors it sells to to arrange for product to be picked up at Rochester and delivered directly to a retailer.

    Kodak Alaris did $500 million in sales in 2022, not all of it was film. https://www.kodakalaris.com/getmedia/69f8221a-9591-45d0-adb2-4bbbf9b6d051/FY22-Annual-Report-and-Accounts-Final-and-Signed.pdf.aspx

    Does Eastman drop ship to final sellers like B and H? I can't imagine that they ship everything to Great Britain for Alaris to re-ship.

    Coating is a Black Art (really hard explain to people like me so they just say Black arts). This, and converting, is why Kodak Alaris can sell film that retails for $20 a roll

    Being a Japanese company, Fuji aren't very forthcoming about the inner workings of their factories....but as far as we know, they stopped coating C41 film. When I spoke with Andy Church of Kodak-Alaris, he said that Kodak were "pretty much the only people coating colour film" at that time. Which...
