    Comment about XTOL in Adox / Lina Bessonova video

    So Adox does analysis of old vs. new XTOL, they find a difference, it's shown in the video of a blogger who may or may not be independent, and Adox decide to make a developer to approach the test results they got from the old XTOL. What's the hubbub about? Nothing stands in the way of...

    Comment about XTOL in Adox / Lina Bessonova video

    You know me, I don't like the recent Kodak Alaris. This time I fell off my chair when I watched this video. I don't like Adox move when it relies on bloggers to do such videos and I don't like them this time about Kodak Alaris Xtol without carring evidences also. Bad move.

    Acquisition of Film Material Producers InovisCoat and FilmoTec

    It is indeed sad to see what happened to Kodak brand. I just bought Kodak's Data Book for Applied Photography from the 1970's in 5 volumes. Going through these pages makes one wanna cry. It's not about nostalgia, but rather the effort into making that kind of data available to the marketplace.

    Acquisition of Film Material Producers InovisCoat and FilmoTec

    I was hoping that the Eastman Kodak and Kodak Alaris film businesses would be taken private similar to Ilford. Right now Ilford is being run like a real company. Bringing out new products, a very enhanced presence on the web. Good job!

    I followed it well. (https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/kodak-raising-prices-in-2021.179226/page-2#post-2339669) I don't agree at all about the behaviour Kodak sports, but you should understand the situation. Alaris is the exclussive distributor of Eastman Kodak products, and Alaris is...

    Kodak Double X

    ...Double-X is finer than T-Max 400, however. In my experience, TMY has comparable grain to old Plus-X. To get Double-X in Kodak boxes, Kodak Alaris would have to be convinced there was enough market to contract with Eastman Kodak to get the film perfed for still cameras (I know, we get away...

    It's a shame we cannot convert Ektar into a transparency

    Only problem is that Ilford Imaging went under, Agfa cancelled these films and thus only Fuji and Kodak Alaris remain, and in addition these are not availabe in 35mm etc.

    Whaaaat? No more syrup HC-110?

    ...matter, the entire *KODAK* brand is no longer what it was-- so perhaps that should be shut down too (and there's support for closing Kodak Alaris, because apparently they're evil bastards). I have no idea why HC-110 was reformulated. I'm not enough of a chemist to understand the differences...

    Kodak D-76 Issue

    Kodak Alaris refers to non photo-active impurities in Dektol that its manufacturer is working to remove. As I understand it, the problems with D-76 and X-Tol are related to the interim change of the packaging. I'm not sure if there have been any problems with the subsequent, new, much larger...

    Fixer sinking to the bottom (in the factory bottle)?

    Fixer is one chemical that I prefer to buy off a shelf, so local availability can be a determining factor. You could reach out to Kodak Alaris: ProPaperChem@kodakalaris.com

    Fixer sinking to the bottom (in the factory bottle)?

    ...clear from the fix and then clear up fine in the wash. Not sure what the deal was. I got no responses to speak of to my post and Kodak Alaris didn't respond either. @grain elevator: Visible underfixing presents as an opaque layer or semi-opaque whitish fog. Note that film can be...

    Fixer sinking to the bottom (in the factory bottle)?

    Frankly I was only trying to help get the OP to the likely cause and the first stage is usually to contact the seller, assuming of course it was a shop or retailer. Essentially under UK law the seller is primarily responsible. At that point of contact I'd want to ask where the fixer was obtained...

    Fixer sinking to the bottom (in the factory bottle)?

    Why would it matter (to the OP) if Tetenal is the manufacturer? It is most likely that Tetenal makes all of the Ilford liquid chemicals, and most of the Kodak liquid chemicals, and probably lots of other brand's photo chemicals. Kodak Alaris are the people to contact.

    Kodak D-76 Issue

    I understand what you are saying Dave, and don't disagree that Kodak Alaris has the responsibility to deal with these problems. I think the reaction isn't to the complaints about problems, but rather about some people who seem to equate the problems with some sort of abandonment and treachery -...

    Kodak D-76 Issue

    With regard to the general topic of "crapping on Kodak"... I don't really understand the pushback against the complaints about Kodak Alaris chemicals. It seems to me to have nothing to do with brand loyalty. I mean, didn't Kodak (the US corporation) sell off that part of its product line to...

    Fixer sinking to the bottom (in the factory bottle)?

    Kodak Alaris doesn't sell T-Max fixer on this side of the Atlantic. With respect to liquid fixers, there is reference in some materials to Polymax T fixer, and more regular access to Kodafix liquid fixer and Kodak Rapid Fixer. Polymax T fixer and Kodafix liquid fixer have hardener included...

    Fomapan 200 in HC110

    Yes Kodak Alaris still makes good film, though the quality standard is very far from the Kodak of yore, I found. I personally stopped using TMAX 400 in medium format altogether when I started getting bad batches whereby the characters printed on the backing paper kept appearing on the negative...

    Vote: Xtol or Eco Pro LegacyPro Film Developer

    ...any price difference between the two ($1 on Freestyle), and LegacyPro likely doesn't have the resources that even post-reorganization Kodak Alaris does to back up their products, I'm inclined to stick with the Kodak product. If I were going to stop, I'd probably switch to Mytol and try to...

    You can contact Kodak Alaris and Ilford to convince them that they can make great money by simply printing an old expired date on them.

    Replenished Xtol getting weak over time

    Thanks Matt. Makes sense. How about mixing some of the old season developer into the fresh batch?
