Thanks good info, no discount on Portra 400 , 800 or Ektar, (although ektar is the one film in 120 where full or part packs are often on a deal). Takes gold etc below march 23 prices (25% increase), which even then looked like a rise too far for the target market
I doubt that EK would have considered this - because it would have potentially been bad for KodakAlaris, and quite likely would have been a breach of the agreement with KodakAlaris.
But if Fuji was happy with an older, no longer sold version of Kodacolor - sure.
35% is a lot.
Wonder how they were able to do that, given that Eastman Kodak is price squeezing the poor Alaris. Before, Alaris was barely breaking even, not they've decided that they want to bankrupt themselves. Out of pure love for us. Respect!
I was referring to other film manufacturers in general who are their competitors not specifically one type of film although KA lowered their prices on Gold 100 as well as many BW emulsions. (See post #39).
Regarding Kodak Ektar, a superior color negative film, why shouldn't they charge...
Did he say why KA were in a position to reduce prices as in the case of these reductions above, they were simply some end of year promotions but why bother with end of year promotions if not in the least required to do so, I wonder?: Because the end of year is Christmas time and its "good will...
KodakAlaris says it's not because of lower demand, but because they take opportunity to lower the prices whenever they can! 🤣
Andrew Church, KodakAlaris’s EMEA business manager, told Kosmo Foto: “There is no general price drop but we are running some end of year promotions on some 120 films...
OK, fine. So what were the changes EK made to what I recall to be Kodak Gold that it sold to Fuji for it to become Fuji 200, I think
Gregg Davis was convinced that it was an identical Kodak film, in a short video, wasn't he ?

Eastman Kodak won't sell any of the current Kodak still films to anyone other than KodakAlaris.
They will contract coat to customer specifications master rolls of different film - if you have lots of money.
Not in colour film manufacturing.
Or more likely, a necessary adjustment to prevent current dated film from becoming stale dated.
KodakAlaris has to estimate ahead of time the demand for film, place an order for manufacture with Eastman Kodak and then pay for the film before they can sell a...
Following on from the lomography announcement, it appears KodakAlaris has also reduced the wholesale prices of all its 120 films, due to a ‘change in the market situation’ (code for demand drop off presumably?). actual cuts depend on supplier but Example of 25% reduction in KG200 by nordfoto...
That facility.
As I understand it, at last initially KodakAlaris shared an interest in the Colorado facility - perhaps a shared leasehold interest - with the Carestream entity. That was one of the many ownership interests that KodakAlaris disposed of, usually for cash.
They were coating colour paper for at least a couple of years after the 2012 bankruptcy - the sale of the Harrow manufacturing site by KodakAlaris was the end of that.
I am strangely loyal to still films. If one looks to the last couple decades, Cine film and Aerial/industrial films have mostly been alternatives led by price and there weren't the best remarks about using short ends then (Seattle film works).
The Fuji-Kodak matter is tragic, again, back in...
...production from the company related to Tetenal. It was that source that supplied Eastman Kodak prior to the bankruptcy, and then KodakAlaris until Tetenal went into bankruptcy.
The other, much less viscous version, with a different MSDS, said "Made in the USA" and was less likely to offer...
The HC-110 Sino Promise sold in the US the last few years was made by someone in the US. This is after the Tetenal production for KodakAlaris-(Sino??) I think Sino Promise may have used different contractors to provide product in different regions. Not sure.
I understand, I just wonder if the labels were used simply because that's what the converter had, dates are applied on the package as the paper was converted.
Alaris makes no mention of paper on their site. I don't think Alaris would re-enter the market this way??
Who knows. It will all be...
No reason not to - as long as it isn't identical to film currently sold under the Kodak brand.
If volumes weren't as tiny as they are for bulk loads, Eastman Kodak and KodakAlaris could even consider having Harman do that confectioning/finishing for them for Kodak branded film.
Scotchchrome had such nice tonal rendition. The only high speed offering we have these days is Portra 800, which is a fantastic film - may Kodak/Alaris be blessed for that. Ektar 1000 was nice too.
...It would be useful to know the following:
* Whether boxes of Endura sold around September 2022 were also labeled as originating from KodakAlaris
* Whether there's any Endura around that has a manufacture date more recent than September 2022
If Alaris has now picked up distribution of Endura...
KodakAlaris' main business address has always been in Rochester, although they did move at one time to new premises.
And it is more likely that the eights have reverted to KodakAlaris due to a Sino Promise default - potentially with product being released as well.
Rochester would represent just the business office location of Alaris, not Rochester manufacture. But that could be verified by the exact address involved, which has changed since the box was labeled. They now seem to have two headquarters, one at a different address in Rochester; and the...
...it states that it was coated or "sensitized" in the USA, and packaged here as well, and not made in China. It also indicates that KodakAlaris is the party which licensed its manufacture. Perhaps Sino Promise gets a royalty. Dunno.
But does the "mfg date" indicate the date of coating, or...
It works the other way around. If someone licenses the Kodak brand name, it's that 3rd party (the licensee) who decide what product they put it on (within the terms of the licensing agreement) and how that product performs. So if Kodak licensed the name (in this case, 'Kodak Professional') to a...
...chemicals Someone else makes them but Ilford holds the licence and puts its name on the product?
The info on the paper's container says KodakAlaris but there appears to be a reference to Kodak and Rochester. So is it KA who have commissioned the resumption of this paper knows as Kodak...
I wondered about this, but I wouldn't jump to conclusions. There is a possibility that Alaris only plays a part in the logistics of distribution or order fulfillment for lack of facilities of SinoPromise in the US where the paper is or was made.
The really remarkable things about that label are the two parts that are highlighted below in red:
That tells me that KodakAlaris has got some or all of the colour paper business back from Sino Promise. What does this mean about the photo chemical business?
It will help to know the batch info.
KodakAlaris with no date or batch marking for mine.
I will be using a couple gallons of the brown stuff because press releases say it’s good, but I hit eBay for a few gallons in paper/foil laminate bags.
Those laminate bags and tin cans I trust. ( but if...
I've had good service from Catlabs. The Reddit post from Omer is exhausting to read. I'm not a customer for films from nearly anyone other than KodakAlaris, Ilford, Foma and a bit from Fujifilm.
So I guess my opinion isn't very important.
