    I still am using up the Kodak Alaris 5L developer Replenisher, and KA C41RA bleach and fixer. I see that the Replenisher for developer from SinoPromise is available, except in 20L size, it's cheap, so if a person wanted proper C-41 developer, the 20L Replenisher and a bottle of starter would get...

    Kodak on twitter: "We're hiring to keep up with demand for 35mm film"

    I had an exclusive distributorship in the NYC region for energy management systems when I had my own contracting company. I sold a lot of products and when it came time to extend my three-year agreement, the manufacturer refused to extend our deal and opened their own office in NYC to sell...

    Because EK can't sell if KA doesn't buy. And KA won't buy if the price they pay is too high for them, in turn, to sell - exactly the same dynamic as experienced by any manufacturer.

    Kodak on twitter: "We're hiring to keep up with demand for 35mm film"

    I suppose you could agree that Kodak charges let's say 30% markup over costs. They have to regularly provide audited ledgers and books to Alaris to show these. The main problem is that what incentive does Kodak have to work hard to reduce its costs if Alaris has to buy from them? Again, no...

    How would you write an agreement that's fair to both entities regarding pricing so Eastman Kodak doesn't get greedy or have to raise its prices beyond what Alaris will find able to effectively compete with other film manufacturers?

And don't forget that many of those experienced industry insiders on the Kodak Alaris side used to do exactly the same work for Eastman Kodak. In fact, Eastman Kodak lost the majority of their experienced people with respect to these...

    Apple and Costco can replace their subcontractors if they get greedy. Alaris has nowhere else to go if Kodak charges too much for their film.

    Matt, is this the issue with Kodak film "shortages"?? Is Rochester supplying finished film in cassettes to Cinestill?? May be a trade secret as to exactly what EK Rochester does for Cinestill? I can't believe that Cinestill has finishing equipment that can run as quickly as EK Rochester. I'm a...

    What you're describing is a free market. There isn't a free market in the arrangement between EK and Alaris. They're attached at the hip. Ek sells to Alaris and Alaris must buy from EK. If EK raises their prices to whatever, Alaris can't go anywhere else. It forces them to raise their...

    I'm not familiar with new contracts between Kodak ALaris and Eastman Kodak (EK). But isn't Cinestill basically movie film which EK kept in the bankruptcy decision to supply Hollywood? Its market is different than consumer-grade still films like Portra and Ektachrome supplied to the general...

    If Kodak is going to work with state-of-the-art production equipment, won't the programmers have to be in the factory most of the time if not all the time watching how their program works rather than working at home? If there's a glitch they need to address, they would want to see the results...

    ...really, price and market-wise. In fact, the disruptions caused by Covid 19 caused so many problems for the photographic industry that Kodak Alaris was forced to re-negotiate the contract with Eastman Kodak. As a result, Eastman Kodak now has a slight bit more access to the still film market...

    One part of the Eastman Kodak business that was transferred to Kodak Alaris in the bankruptcy was related to office document scanning and organization technology. Kodak Alaris has rebranded that business - under the Alaris (not Kodak) name IIRC - and it is my understanding that that business is...

    And of course, Eastman Kodak is limited to a single customer, so they too are in a similar position, because Kodak Alaris has the same control over what they will pay as any single customer does. Their best interests are tied to each other.

    ...to meet that demand or lose customers to other brands. So there may be some risk on their part. But what is the alternative? Second, Kodak Alaris gets its film from Kodak in America as part of the Kodak bankruptcy. Alaris is limited then to one supplier. That is dire. Also, Kodak charges...

    When Tetenal will be back in service?

    When Tetenal was reorganising, Kodak switched a lot of chemicals to USA production. (My guess being Photo systems/Unicolor) And apparently Alaris has licenced "Sino-Promise" to make some Kodak Chemicals in China. SOit is posible to find the nominal same product with three different origins. I...

    ...followed almost immediately by the pandemic. And whether or not Sino Promise is China based, most of the people who actually work for the business around the world are former Kodak Alaris and usually former Kodak employees - Eastman Kodak or various international subsidiaries, like Kodak Ltd.

    My biggest concern is lost of technical "engineering and scientists" as well as the men and women who are manufacturing leads. For heritage Kodak products the pandemic and trade disruptions couldn't have come at a worse time.
