    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...

    Does anyone know if the "chat" will be archived or transcribed? I can't have it on at the moment.

    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.

    Having just skim read the links PDF, I was quite taken back to read the following instruction, twice, on the start of page 2: Before you turn off the lights, pour the developer solution into the tank. Then turn off both the room lights and the safelight Smoothly lower the loaded film reel...

    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.

    This makes sense. Chemistry and paper was/is a division, no mention of a separate black and white chemistry division. God forbid Alaris sells the still film business group to China. That would be an end, for me of a lifelong relationship.

    Thank you for all of that info! I need to find a chart or something to explain the differences between developers. I keep hearing about certain developers for old emulsions vs others for new emulsions, acutance, and still too new to this to know what any of that actually translates into in terms...

    Look at Unique photo in New Jersey, they sell less than case quantities of Kodak Flexicolor chemistry, it's made by the China based company that just purchased the color paper and chemistry. It's been coming from China for years so no issues. I reuse the bleach and replenish, but only the...

    ...amazing color films, I wouldn't look towards Kodak for anything. Sure they also have great B&W films, but so do others. The Kodak/Kodak Alaris relationship never seemed healthy to me: technical savvy in one place and marketing in another. It seemed like Kodak Alaris never knew what to do...

    Arista is Freestyle's brand. They are the distributer for it. I think that the Kodak Alaris packaging issues for the powdered chemicals have been basically resolved, save for some retail unhappiness about the format, but there is some product from affected batches still in the pipeline. And I...

    Obviously I don't know exactly what Ilford is doing right now, however, it seems that Ilford has managed the Tetenal issue with no problems. As to Adox. Adox has a new, perfectly sized facility for manufacturing, confectioning, darkroom chemistry. It's not clear that Adox is making every...

    If you want to make your life simple, until the Kodak Alaris black and white chemistry mess gets straight, buy Ilford fixer, stop bath and one of their film developer formulas. Even easier, buy a bottle of Adox Rodinal and a small 25-50 mL plastic graduated cylinder. Rodinal has been around...
