    Help diagnose a development problem, please

    Following up, information posted on Photrio <here> suggests Kodak Alaris has announced some kind of problem with several lots of XTOL, including Cat 105 8338, Date 2109/10/07, which is the lot number I used. Without knowing more about the exact nature of the Xtol problem, it is hard to say if...

    Kodak XTOL trade concern announcment

    In a decade of using various of their chemistry I've never seen a problem. I've had one roll of film with issues. Contrast that with the common experience with Kodak films (backing paper, anyone?) and constant complaints about chemistry (XTOL, D-76, etc). I've got a bag of XTOL to return here...

    New Kodak Film in 2021?

    Perhaps two new films. One a reintroduction of a discontinued film, the other something new. https://kosmofoto.com/2021/01/kodak-alaris-planning-two-film-releases-in-2021/?fbclid=IwAR2_-6An1LosqsvEhMpui7Z3joQykhUBI-Cc6Yj-vJWFmK1xtkDdQaZKQIQ

    Kodak XTOL trade concern announcment

    I believe you are right. A complete disconnect between the products they sell and those that make and use use them. The worst 'middle man' possible. I just hope KA can hold things together well enough to keep selling Kodak color (and b/w) film stock.

    It would be helpful if Kodak Alaris indicated the scope of the problem.

    Kodak XTOL trade concern announcment

    I have a stockpile of the beautiful Tetenal made XTOL. Alaris is in, what the kids call a dumpster fire right now. I use the Kodak Flexicolor C41 RA and the Ektacolor RA4 chemistry made in the China plant, zero problems. I don't know but it could be the new owners wanting to make sure all the...

    Kodak Alaris finally sold to chinese?

    That was essentially my point. Given Eastman Kodak's financial performance of late, such an evolution (or even corporate survival) seems less and less likely every day. Note that these replies do not represent "hopes" or "wishes." They simply attempt to point out reality. Which, as those...

    Kodak Alaris finally sold to chinese?

    Thank you Matt! This is the FACT. If you start out with the same raw materials, doesn't mean you can make a Stradivarius. Without the Stadivari there to make the magic happen you might end up with a ukulele!:laugh: We see how well Germany under the thumb of the Soviet Union performed. :outlaw: I...

    Sounds like Alaris is having a couple of new products coming- won't say what they are (one relaunch, one new product). What it is not is Plus-X (nor Kodak Gold 120). Listening to this: Analog Photography - Fireside Chat #1 (SilverGrain Classics) Andrew Church Kodak Alaris EMEA (plus other guests)

    ...no matter how labelled, will need to be evaluated on their own terms. A more interesting question is whether Eastman Kodak and Kodak Alaris can continue to modernize the production and products in a way to decouple their survival from the survival of the cine film market. That requires an...

    Kodak Alaris finally sold to chinese?

    We've all read about the general nature of Kodak Alaris' agreement with Eastman Kodak. However, questions about the specifics have always been met by complete silence. :smile: Yes, that much was clear from publicly available information. Have you performed a detailed review of the bankruptcy...

    ...could not keep operating for that reason. The paper business being operated by Sino now bears the chance, that without the constraints Kodak Alaris has due to the KPP obligations, they can actually compete against Fuji in the paper market again, because there is real money to be made. That´s...

    ...owned by Eastman Kodak and its international subsidiaries - by that I mean mainly the employees - were either let go or, in most cases, hired by Kodak Alaris. Kodak Alaris licences the trademarks for the products that they market from Eastman Kodak, who retain ownership of those trade marks.

    Not sure on the trademark, Alaris has the rights to market the film, and the exclusive rights to use the trademark. depending on how clever the Kodak lawyers were, they may or may not be able to "recall" the trademark if the business was sold. Remember the sad case of "Agfa Photo"

    NDA, didn't a certain Playboy model have one of those? I've signed NDA's most of the information is public now. :laugh:

    Kodak Alaris finally sold to chinese?

    But what rights to use that trademark were assigned to Kodak Alaris? In this type of discussion I often post that "those who know aren't talking and those who are talking don't know." Matt, the certainty exhibited in your responses is surprising. Are you violating an NDA? Did someone else...

    ...because many of the issues that had to be dealt with related to the current practicalities for distribution - issues like storage and packaging and shipping. And Kodak Alaris is, of course, the conduit for distributor feedback, which itself is a conduit for retailer and end user feedback.

    Kodak Alaris finally sold to chinese?

    I'm sure no one here knows the answer to this question. Who owns the "recipe" to the still films produced by The Eastman Kodak Co.? If Alaris owns the exclusive global distribution rights, do they have detailed documentation on how to produce the traditional Kodak still films at a site of their...

    Kodak Alaris finally sold to chinese?

    Lots of misinformation here, so let me clarify something: EASTMAN Kodak and KODAK ALARIS are two seperate companies. Eastman Kodak produces all exposable materials, e.g still and cinefilms sold under diverse brands. Portra, Ektar, TriX etc are made by Eastman Kodak, but sold and distributed by...

    Soaking Tmax 120 400 film in water - how long is safe?

    ...with the Adox chemistry (limited to be sure ) has been positive. I've got XTOL stashed in case of Martian invasion. I wouldn't recommend any Kodak Alaris black and white chemistry to anyone until there's no more warnings of brown developer, or crystals in the bottles of HC-110. It's sad.

    Microdol-x and ilford fp4?

    Nice work. The Legacy brand is not having problems. I won't be buying anything from Kodak Alaris or the company that bought the chemistry division until they're stable.

    I'm going to try Rodinal and Xtol, I'll add DDX to the list as well. I found two other Ilford liquid developers at my local shop but unless DD-X also goes by another name, it wasn't one of them. I want to say HC and Ilfosol, if I'm remembering correctly.

    D76 - Brown In Envelope - Gone Bad?

    I think the only safe way to have a working bag of d76 is to have it replaced directly by Kodak Alaris.

    I agree with you on these choices. DD-X and XTOL IF mixing 5 liters at a go works

    Kodak Alaris specifically recommends as their go to all around developer. https://imaging.kodakalaris.com/sites/prod/files/files/resources/AJ-3.pdf I don't know if anyone else feels the resolution, but I do. Advice for film developer for someone starting out: Ilford DD-X (concentrated...

    I agree. Should that day come, I would use my kids' college funds to buy ... ahem ... a fair amount of Kodak color film and the freezers to go with them. Shoot until I drop, the cameras fail, or the film runs out.
