    Kodak price increases in 2020

    Well... It is the owner of Kodak Alaris - essentially the UK pension security regime - that seeks the sale of the parts of Kodak Alaris that we are interested in here. A preference for cash is understandable, considering the size of the pension shortfall that the owners of Kodak Alaris need to...

  2. Kodak price increases in 2020

    Kodak Alaris has serious issues. Not the least of which is employee morale. I've been through sales and mergers, it's completely disruptive. Alaris has made their plans to outsource everything and sell this division known for a long while. Ilford has ownership that is in it for the long run...

    How much will Kodak film prices increase?

    You won't see anything from Eastman Kodak - other than with respect to their motion picture film. Anything relating to still film, chemicals or RA-4 paper will only come from Kodak Alaris.

  4. Kodak price increases in 2020

    XTOL has nothing to do with film prices, or availability. Kodak Alaris has found a different (not bankrupt) supplier for XTOL. From my understanding of the XTOL situation, the lot number in question went to the US, EU was not affected. I received the lot number that was "suspect" I mixed it...

    Excellent point. I hope everything works out, both EK and KA seem to be struggling.

    Kodak price increases in 2020

    I would rather have someone else buy and combine the businesses of Kodak Alaris and the film production facilities and business of Eastman Kodak then have Eastman Kodak buy Kodak Alaris' business. Eastman Kodak is a publicly traded company that focuses on commercial printing systems. It has a...

    Very positive news from Kodak: Strong increasing demand - new investment

    That wouldn't be Kodak (Eastman). Kodak Alaris is the one that does RA4 paper.

    Very positive news from Kodak: Strong increasing demand - new investment

    Matt, I think Foto Impex haven't been selling that paper for at least two or three years? I don't really have such a good sense of time, but it feels correct. It doesn't seem to me that this was related to Tetenals problems. At most some early signs, perthaps? Maybe KA couldn't be bothered to...

    Very positive news from Kodak: Strong increasing demand - new investment

    If I understand things correctly, Kodak Alaris was also having difficulty meeting supply demands for RA4 roll paper in certain markets. That could explai why Fotoimpex can't get their hands on any master rolls right now - the big, centralized photofinishers in Europe may have priority. The...

    Alert about a possible problem batch of Xtol

    I mixed up my New XTOL the A side has the 2019/08/09 8317, B side is 2019/08/09 8318 exactly what Kodak Alaris posted. I shot a roll of TMY 2, Nikon F5, 5 frames / second of my nitwit cat Gus, sitting in a shaft of sunlight. In the darkroom I took scissors and cut the film in half. I processed...

    Alert about a possible problem batch of Xtol

    How did you estabish that? As best I can determine, no details of the Eastman Kodak / Kodak Alaris agreement have been made public. And I inquired directly with both companies at the time of the bankruptcy settlement. Neither would disclose anything. It's entirely possible that Eastman Kodak...

    Building a paper dispenser for RA4?

    It looks like the Kodak Alaris paper is wound emulsion in . Skate board wheels might work.

All,the new Kodak Alaris powdered chemistry shows "more on the way " or backordered. Also for some reason the new formula Dektol is in store pick up only at B&H. The older...

    Alert about a possible problem batch of Xtol

    First don't give up on XTOL! It will be made right. KA doesn't make anything any longer, or own any equipment (other than a small group in Brazil ) Eastman Kodak owns all the film making equipment, part of the settlement with the UK pension fund forbids Eastman Kodak from producing Still...

    Alert about a possible problem batch of Xtol

    Thanks. Maybe I have misunderstood the "good news" thread from Henning Serger. I thought that when he mentioned a revival in Kodaks fortunes this included the still film and processing part. From what you are saying this would seem to be unlikely. Indeed the wrong moves by KA could kill the...

    EK doesn't have anything to do with KA chemistry or paper. Alaris has outsourced everything since closing Harrow. See this info, there's a link to KA annual report. https://www.insideimaging.com.au/2019/kodak-alaris-buyer-steps-away-at-11th-hour/ As you can see Alaris is failing at finding a...

    Alert about a possible problem batch of Xtol

    I only have information about the new Ektachrome. Kodak Alaris was actively interested in getting back into the market with an E6 still film. Eastman Kodak saw the market for the cine films. The two sets of interests made it possible. As did the fact that there continued to be in existence...

    Kodak Alaris for Sale?

    That's pretty sobering stuff, even with the increase in film demand. The next person who starts crying for Kodachrome should have this report shoved in their laps. Better buy and enjoy what is being produced now and hope for a more stable future.

    Acros II RELEASED!

    Apparently it is. I don't think there any other UK based film company that could coat a modern grain style film. I am not surprised, Fuji was quite adamant that with the end of Neopan 400 that at that point they couldn't see making any more film and after all those master rolls of Acros V.1...

    I think Kodak Alaris is doing the best they can trying to get ahead of this. This isn't a Eastman Kodak problem like occurred with the 120 backing paper. New supplier, new mixing equipment, something probably malfunctioned and didn't add correct quantities. I have one bag of the new stuff, I...

    New Ilford film being Introduced

    Seems to be creating the desired "buzz" on this site (Photrio). And it is a lot cheaper than some other methods. I'm going to guess that it is a true 1600 ISO B & W emulsion. And I have absolutely know way of knowing how accurate that guess might be.
