    Reflx Lab says their respooled films could be discontinued

    ...impressed when an article includes multiple spellings for the same name or word. AFAIK, Eastman Kodak wrote a specific exception into Kodak Alaris' contract rights when they re-negotiated their contract recently - the exception that supplies Cinestill with their modified for special purpose...

    Reflx Lab says their respooled films could be discontinued

    Alaris and Cinestill (I'm sure) have voiced concerns. There's been a bit of a "Wild West" market for this stuff. I think EK is protecting it's brands, and even the consumer from getting mishandled film. I suspect it is also helpful to processing labs to not have unexpected remjet crud. The new...

    Reflx Lab says their respooled films could be discontinued

    Kodak Alaris has the exclusive right to sell Eastman Kodak photo film. Alaris's lawyers probably told Eastman to stop selling film for re-spooling or Alaris will sue them. Don't blame Eastman. Their contracts legally bind them.

    The return of the Syrup: HC-110 in the water-free version manufactured again

    There was a period of time when Kodak Alaris was contracting for different versions of HC-110, depending on the market that it was being traded into. The EU destined syrupy version was still being made in the EU, while the other version was being made in the USA. As the extreme longevity of...

    Who owns or possesses all the old Tetenal recipes now?

    ...and re-bottling it as Rodinal, with labelling the same colour and type style as Agfa. More recently there was the Kodak debacle where Kodak Alaris sold the chemistry rights to Sino Promise, when they pulled out the rights reverted to Eastman Kodak. At some point the trade names of some Kodak...

    Fresh XTOL from PSI and thin Negatives

    For clarity, both of your contacts above were not to Kodak - either Eastman Kodak or Kodak Alaris. One was to Photo Systems, and the other was to Photo Systems' Kodak branded chemicals division - where the contact people are their distributors, Cinestill. Kodak Alaris was the last Kodak direct...

    Fresh XTOL from PSI and thin Negatives

    Thanks, can I assume that with other developers you can use the film manufacturers' times which do not give thin negs and secondly what problems when printing those thin negatives do the thinner negs give you and finally, are you able to adjust print exposure and /or contrast to produce...

    Fresh XTOL from PSI and thin Negatives

    ..not sure! Is the XTOL you're using from the recent (PSI) production? First time using XTOL at all. I have used the times from the Kodak Alaris data sheet for the first rolls (one T-Max, Tri-X, HP5 and Delta 400 each), second round I was actually using the longer times published by Ilford...

    Help with developing time Kodak double x

    It matters a whole lot if you own Kodak Alaris, and if you are Eastman Kodak and a party to the contract that exists between Kodak Alaris and Eastman Kodak, which doesn't allow Eastman Kodak to sell Kodak branded still film, or any film intended to be used as still film, to anyone other than...

    Help with developing time Kodak double x

    Because Kodak Alaris paid a huge amount for and owns the rights to distribute and market Kodak branded still film, and Eastman Kodak is restricted to marketing and distribution of Kodak branded motion picture film.

    6 years after, how is the longevity of the new HC-110?

    They were the actual manufacture for Kodak Alaris (post Tetenal bankruptcy) and then for Sino Promise - at least for the portion of the worldwide product labelled as "Made in USA". And that changed formulation was always designed to give users the same results, when reasonably fresh, as the...

    Preserving C41 developer

    I can't help but feel that some of these formulas have some sort of "anti-oxidizing" additive??? I don't know. Seems like my Kodak and Fuji chemistry has a better record (of course this was with the Kodak Alaris China stuff). 🤔 😟😊

    Kodak/Alaris was a shotgun marriage under duress for both sides.

    Kodak no longer selling E100D directly to customers?

    Vision 3 was/is quite lovely and that'd be sad to see it being taken away. I have 0 respect towards Kodak / Alaris and their questionable business practices. Have you seen Kodak branded SSD's? 🤣

    Kodak no longer selling E100D directly to customers?

    I heard that there is drama between Kodak Alaris and Eastman Kodak. Motion Picture sales to anything outside of motion picture projects is forbidden now(as far as i understand), so this decision is a massive blown for anyone aiming to bulk load motion picture film. Tri-X, Vision 3.. all the good...

    Fresh XTOL from PSI and thin Negatives

    Thanks for contacting Kodak Alaris Yes, that is true. We are now coating our Professional Color Negative Films (Portra / EKTAR) on 0.10 mm (3.94 mil) KODAK ESTAR. There are a number of benefits to ESTAR: It is manufactured by Eastman Kodak Kodak ESTAR features very high clarity /...

    Fresh XTOL from PSI and thin Negatives

    ...From EK's point of view, they are a much better repository of the brand than Sino Promise was, but EK had no say in the sale of what was Kodak Alaris' to sell. EK is merely fortunate enough to be able to benefit from Sino Promise' demise, because Kodak Alaris was unable or unwilling (or...

    Fresh XTOL from PSI and thin Negatives

    To quote myself “…Kodak (?* photo systems, alaris, Sino promise, etc.) never bothered to do the tests to update their data sheets that photographers rely on because at this point they are not photographers or concerned with photography at all. They're just chemistry manufacturers/distributors.”...

    Fresh XTOL from PSI and thin Negatives

    Where are you getting the idea that Eastman Kodak is changing the thickness of the acetate on Portra 400 and Ektar. This is nonsense. If you are running a laboratory you should be running test strips even on black and white. I've not had a problem with any XTOL, not Tetenal made (beautiful...

    ...the brand name - since the bankruptcy. EK doesn't even have a direct connection with the film datasheets - those are now entirely Kodak Alaris. EK has no more control over what Photo Systems are doing, as long as the terms of the brand licensing are complied with. For example, if you look at...

I have sent all these facts to Kodak Alaris because they are our trading partners (I try a contact photosys in 2025). Now I have developed a Tri-X in X-Tol (currently 04/2024 - Made in USA)...

    Fresh XTOL from PSI and thin Negatives

    Absolutely. I believe this is a valid point, whether or not the chemistry you purchase is considered "reliable/trustworthy" or more in the "unreliable/risky" category. I’ve lost interest in “Kodak” chemistry. In 2019, I purchased multiple packages of D-76, Xtol, and Dektol from different...

    As there is no Kodak maintained information about XTol any more, it is Photo Systems that you need to address your wish to. The problem of course is that there are references to the old XTol numbers in the film datasheets, which are hosted by Kodak Alaris.

  30. Eastman Kodak temporarily paused all film production - to upgrade manufacturing plant (Nov 2024)

February 2024: "135 format Gold 200, UltraMax 400, ColorPlus 200, ProImage 100, and Portra 800 coat on ESTAR." "135 format EKTAR 100, Portra...
