    Send those to Kodak Alaris please.

    The weird thing is, another attached image doesn't show the same problem. It was on the same roll, frame 9 of 10 I believe.

    A Thanks for the help. I have contacted the store who I have bought the film off. They are looking into it. I hope I don't have to run into this problem again.

    ...and the emulsion of the adjacent layer, when the fillm is in spooled state. There is no hint of the exposure being part of the issue. Kodak Alaris either had no knowledge of certain batches being affected or did not bother. All it seems is that all films from that period went into retail...

    Thanks, good to be here, glad there is some information on this. I bought the film about 6 weeks ago and to my knowledge it was not expired. I thought it may have something to do with the length of exposure time being quite long ?

    ...to use is profilm@kodakalaris.com. Past practice has been that you will be referred to a local contact, although there hasn't been a lot of recent reports of this. I wonder if Kodak Alaris will continue to replace severely expired film suffering from this problem - particularly if bought "used".

    Welcome to Apug, Alex! We have been discussing both the nature of this issue and Kodak Alaris' silence on it since 2015 on hudreds of pages. At the end of 2018 Alaris made their first public statement on this, saying that they solved the problem...

    Aaah. Another victim of the wrapper offset. Contact your national Kodak Alaris rep and they should replace all the film you have from the same batch. Short version: this has been a known problem for some time, with something in the printing on the backing paper reacting with the emulsion...

    What are the odds (old powder developer still sealed)?

    ...And given it's only $10 for 5L, I may just keep ordering the real deal and not bother with Mytol (other than to have a backup in case Kodak Alaris drops chemicals). Even Mytol was never going to be as cheap as Parodinal to use, but when I'm under twenty-five cents a roll (including stop and...

    New (2019 version) HC-110 developer not the same?

    I repeat: "As to why Kodak Alaris elected to move a substantial amount of its manufacturing from Tetenal, I expect that had more to do with the danger of having to rely on a single international source that had already experienced severe financial problems than it did with price alone. That...

    If the "new" Tetenal is operating from the "old" Tetenal factory then it sounds as if the means of producing the "old" HC110 is still there so why not simply commission the new Tetenal to produce the old HC110 on its existing machinery? Then everyone of HC110 old customers remain happy and new...

    There are tons of chemical manufacturers in the world. Hc-110 is easy peasy stuff There’s nothing magical in manufacturing a product that has been out for close to a century. And please don’t go into sensationalism, it wouldn’t have doubled or tripled. All it takes is a disconected management...

    Of course if Tetenal goes under again, Ilford/Harman will be in a much worse situation than Kodak Alaris when it comes to their manufacturing sources. As far as I am aware, Ilfotec-HC has never exhibited the same extra-ordinary longevity as the older versions of HC-110. And maybe NB23 is right -...

With the size of the market being what it is, there probably is now no good economic argument for someone else to do that - Kodak Alaris certainly doesn't have the capital to make that happen.

    Would I be right in assuming from the above Matt that there was a period when the "old" HC110 was made by Tetenal? If that was the case then the change is either deliberate for reasons we can only speculate on or some change to the "new" Tetenal means that the means needed to produce the old...

    ... except for ilfotec-HC? Who produces Ilfotec-hc can produce hc-110. The truth was probably like all the rest of Kodak’s weird moves: saving money (while cheapening their products).

    Tetenal nearly disappeared - they were barely saved from full bankruptcy. It doesn't surprise me that Kodak Alaris elected to bring some of their manufacturing back to the USA. Kodak Alaris themselves have no capacity for manufacturing chemicals. Even Eastman Kodak has very little remaining...

    The change in formula may have been required for the new Kodak Alaris to sell the old formulation in California, where the old product might have been grandfathered. Guessing, of course. I might also just boil down to plain old cost vs. selling price. And no, I've used HC-110 as far back as...

    I for one wish that Kodak Alaris hadn't changed the formulation. I will be using Ilfotec HC once my HC-110 runs out. The beauty of the old formula was that it contained no water. Seems like the new stuff may just be a saturated solution in water and hence crystals form.

    Which catalog number is on the outside of the bottle you have? In recent years Tetenal was doing the manufacturing of HC-110 for Kodak Alaris. When Tetenal went into receivership, that was one of the products for which Kodak Alaris changed manufacturers. FWIW, I've seen that sort of...

    I will do this test right now and share the results here. Might be interesting for anybody else reading this. Also, yes it's HP5+, still have the bulk roll box lying around, however it seems it's a different kind. See quote below. I believe you, the film base is a bit different as well other...

    Why do I need to develop longer?

    As far as I aware, there are no instructions packaged with HC-110 - old or new. The Kodak Alaris datasheet on the internet remains sort of unchanged since 2017 - the only reference to agitation is a footnote that reads: 1.Development on a reel, in a small roll-film tank, with manual agitation at...

    Achieving more contrast with D-76

    The datasheet for D-76 is available on line from Kodak Alaris. My rule of thumb is 25% but I print with multigrade paper.

    ...the tiny remaining scientific market) gets 20% of its total revenue from one still film and chemicals customer. Presumably, that's the Kodak Alaris we appeal to if we get defective film or complain about when the new HC-110 isn't exactly like the old. To put it another way, professional and...
