    Replenish Mytol?

    ...far, got a couple liters left (my tank solution is two liters because my Yankee Agitank needs almost 1.6 liters to cover 4x5 film). If Kodak Alaris/Sino Promise will get their act together, I'll be mixing more in a few months. So far, it's working great, even though I'm averaging no more...

    Kodak XTOL trade concern announcment

    ...it'd be one thing if it was just Sino Promise, since they bought the Kodak chemical and paper division (I think?) but the recall is on Kodak Alaris' website and I feel there's a least ownness to say SOMETHING. It's not hard and it doesn't have to be full of info. They just have to acknowledge...

    Kodak XTOL trade concern announcment

    This sounds right to me. I've been using the Sino Promise C41 and RA4 for several years, I'm a decidedly non-professional, so can't speak to the commercial market. Based on my experience with the color chemistry, I have little doubt that Sino Promise will deliver, eventually. Right now I'm...

    My last batch (probably one with the "trade concern") had these white flakes too. Mixed to warm water (25-30 deg C). And three mails to Kodak Alaris, no response still.

    Juan: The bad fortune was that which was visited upon Kodak Alaris when their previously reliable supplier(s) went into bankruptcy/started supplying defective product/were visited themselves by bad fortune. In a perfect world, the sometimes defective product would be caught before reaching...

    Runny white HC-110

    The new HC-110 is manufactured in the USA by someone other than Tetenal. Kodak Alaris moved most of their production away from Tetenal when it went into bankruptcy, and then didn't move most of it back when the new, reformulated Tetenal started up. I'm not sure that it is correct that the new...

    Confirm my suspicion on a C41 dev error?

    ...also consider keeping a sample of your "fishy" color developer for analysis (keep the whole batch if you have enough storage bottles), at least until you've contacted Kodak Alaris/Sino Promise about the problem chemicals. On the bright side, your bleach, fixer, and final rinse should be fine.

    Runny white HC-110

    I'm sort of going in the opposite direction. I've used all of the films in question over the years and I've decided I like the TMax films the best. My arriving at that conclusion is coincidentally on the same spot in the timeline as the draw down of my 2nd to last bottle of original HC 110...

    Runny white HC-110

    I still have 3/4 of a litre of the original stuff and when that is done, I will be seamlessly transitioning on to Ilford Ilfotec HC. This is probably the end of Kodak products for me, as I no longer use their film, preferring HP5+ in most respects. Well done Alaris, you changed the one remaining...

    Kodak XTOL trade concern announcment

    ...my current batch had an expiration of 2002 when I mixed it last September. At this point, I'm almost as concerned over no response from Kodak Alaris or Sino Promise as I am about the developer. I can switch to Legacy Pro, or get a minimum order of reagent grade sulfite and borax if I need...

    Kodak XTOL trade concern announcment

    I suspect that their will be plenty of companies that try to fill the void created by the Alaris screw up. Timing is everything, Ilford has a product for everything that Alaris (black and white) marketed. Adox has products, not as widely available in the US, same with Foma. Education business...

    ...only thing separating Kodak products from other products is the Kodak trademark. That trademark may well be the only thing of value that Kodak Alaris sold to the Chinese. I am not going to boycott Kodak-labelled products. In fact the Chinese may do a better job of controlling quality than...

  17. Industry News from the Source: Panel Discussion with Kodak, JOBO and more - DEC 29th 7PM CET on ZOOM

    The recent statement to that effect from Alaris was interesting, but I never saw any real follow-up. It suggested that KA was somehow involved with this but didn't directly state that. Does KA actually have the capital to invest in EK's production? Could KA have prepaid for film not yet delivered?

    Tmax Film

    All of this is exactly why I've been considering switching to Ilford. Kodak has become that spouse that you got to know and then realized they have some heavy baggage - too much baggage... for me anyway.

    Yes, and now they keep profitable products and eliminate unprofitable. I think that you would agree RA-4 paper and chemistry dwarfs any other product that they acquired from KA. Definitely looking in the review mirror, imho. Nonetheless, I assume 'Kodak' will be plastered on their RA-4 paper...

    ...inroads into all the distribution channels for photographically associated brands like Epson. As important as the US market is, it probably is less important than the totality of the rest of the world, and Kodak Alaris just sold them infrastructure that has at least some presence in that world.

    Tmax Film

    The confectioning of all Kodak still film is done by Eastman Kodak in Rochester. That is where much of the current backlog arises, because of the capacity reductions that happened around the time of the bankruptcy.

    Tmax Film

    ...every two rolls I alternated between Tmax and HP5+. Only the Tmax had the marks, usually falling within the last frame. I contacted Kodak Alaris and never heard back. I don't know the source of the damage, but I know it wasn't from me. My personal guess is that Kodak (US) is selling bulk...

    Tmax Film

    That's a good breakdown Matt. Thanks. I knew that Eastman Kodak made a deal with Hollywood to guarantee the purchase of a certain amount of Vision 3 movie film for Hollywood. Hollywood was interested as well as they wanted to make sure there would be continued access to the film. Many...

    Tmax Film

    I'm trying to find out if Tmax films are still manufactured by Kodak in Rochester. I understand Kodak Alaris sold a good portion of the color paper and chemistry business to a Chinese firm, but I'm not sure this included Kodak's film or B/W chemistry divisions. I do have a number of rolls of...

    New Ilford Multigrade RC Portfolio

    ...from film scanning, to developing tanks, to automated processors - in all cases the trends are being led by younger photographers. I applaud them and shout to Kodak Alaris and Adox, get off your asses and start marking to the young. (At least Fuji has Instax, film popular with the young.)

    ECN-2 control strips (special outdated order from BH)

    As Lachlan mentioned, this is not a Kodak Alaris product. It is an Eastman Kodak product, and you may be able to buy it directly from them.
