    Matte colour paper

    That's good news Matt as long as we can be sure this is the case. Presumably we just need to be equally sure that Sino Promise do not end up in the mire that an East v West future could herald pentaxuser

    Matte colour paper

    Sino-Promise had been in the business for years - supplying Kodak Alaris with product and distributing huge quantities of Kodak Alaris product through the world. There is no huge political back story. They are basically mired in pandemic consequences, and having tremendous difficulties as a result.

    ...research and manufacture. With most of the marketing and distribution segments being sent off as part of the bankruptcy (much of it to Kodak Alaris), the remaining staff were just a fraction of what once was. And of course, a lot of the people who were once in the R&D and engineering...

    As this thread has turned into nothing about an argument about what should be, I'm closing it. But yes, Kodak Alaris and Eastman Kodak have both had people who work for them say, both publicly and privately, that the cost of their making and selling 100 foot bulk rolls of still film is...

The Pension Fund incorporated Kodak Alaris to run the business they received from the settlement. They are a separate entity, even if they work cooperatively with Eastman Kodak. Directly...

    The only reason Kodak is manufacturing film for Alaris may be because the bankruptcy court told them they had too. Maybe they have no interest in doing any of it and would like nothing more than dropping the whole film line? See my post #40 and 42.

    First of, Eastman Kodak did not sell their rights to Alaris. I thought that was the Kodak bankruptcy determination to pay off Alaris's entitlement to retirement pension funding for their employees who originally worked for Kodak. Leaving that aside, how does Alaris negotiate with one party...

    They sold the exclusive marketing rights for a bunch of their products to Kodak Alaris. The rest is up to the two parties. Kodak Alaris wants something made for sale, and Eastman Kodak gives them a price. Then they negotiate.

    My question is what are the legal requirements Eastman Kodak has to meet to make products for Kodak Alaris per the court's decision on the Kodak bankruptcy? How are they allowed to pass along their costs to Alaris?

    We also don;t know where the hangup is. Remember that Kodak Alaris in Great Britain does not manufacture Kodak film. They own the rights and distribute and market the film. But, it still is manufactured by Kodak in Rochester New York, USA. So the problem could be in Rochester or in GB or...

    With good reason, probably. The market for single rolls and pro-packs serves most amateurs and any remaining pros that still shoot film. Bulk rolls would only serve a small part of the amateur market. Moreover, it's a part of amateur market with an even lower willingness to pay than the amateur...

    I might. At least it wouldn't be the frame number, which would stop me. I should try if the time code can be scanned with any bar code app on the phone. I use frame numbers only for my darkroom printing notes. But for me personally Fujicolor 400 (and 100) would make more sense for bulk...

    How many here would buy 400' rolls of still film without frame numbers? If there is enough, Kodak Alaris may be willing to get a few thousand made.

    Have you checked with B&H and other major suppliers? I'm sure you have sources you used before that would try to help you out from your previous large purchases of film. Call Kodak directly or Alaris.

    Shortage of materials

    As far as I know, most Kodak RA4 paper and all professional color chemistry are produced in China since many years. This is not a new situation but the collapse of Sino Promise shortly after taking over the business from Kodak Alaris. The main factory was originally part of EK.

Sino Promise had been for several years contract manufacturing much of the colour chemistry and colour paper for Kodak Alaris until they bought that portion of Kodak Alaris' business in 2020. They were also the largest distributor in the world of Kodak branded products -...

    Who's Shooting the New Gold 200 120 Right Now?

    In my recent chat with Andy Church of Kodak-Alaris, he did say that it's important to ensure labs know it's Gold and are prepared to scan it appropriately. It's not that it's difficult to scan, but that so many labs are now set up (by default) to scan Portra or Ektar in 120 that they might not...

    E6 cost has finally killed it for me

    Matt, Shipping cost is only one of the reasons prices are going up. Inflation is as factual as shipping disruptions to the reasons film costs are rising. It was just announced a couple of hours ago that US inflation is up 8.4% for March over 7.8% for February. Don't you think that affects...

    E6 cost has finally killed it for me

    Economic theory is theoretical, contentious and political. Whether or not Kodak Alaris, FujiFilm or SinoPromise can get containers to ship things due to shipping system disruptions is a question of fact and circumstance. If you have information about facts, feel free to share.

    I had a chat with Andy Church of Kodak-Alaris on Friday (over an unrelated matter) and we drifted onto Gold in 120 format. He says they've released "a lot" into the market and hopes there should be sufficient supply.

    New ISO 400 "Fugufilm" slide film

    New ISO 400 "Fugufilm" slide film

    When Kodak Alaris came on the scene they made a big deal out of saying they would make boutique on-demand coatings from their "vault" but they have never done that and don't even respond to questions about it. Now that they are owned by the Sinopromise it makes it even more less likely.

    Kodak Gold Now Available in 120 - threads merged

    Portra is more or less designed to yield colours accurately in natural light, and pro's know how to use it with lighting to get the end results they desire. Gold was designed for the everyman, and part of it's appeal is that it can make dull days look brighter. It was the film of choice for Mr...
