The author of this article doesn’t really understand the situation. He doesn’t realize that KA markets, but does not manufacture, film.
KA has been for sale for a while. Is there anything new?
Seem to be in the States and europe. https://kiosklocator.kodakmoments.com/kiosk-locatorYeah, not sure what is going on. I've never seen a Kodak Moments kiosk, seems to be a completely different business than film.

The Kodak Moments kiosk is the printing machine at some CVS drugstores. You can insert almost any type of memory card, CD, or link your phone, and the machine makes a very nice print. The one in my closest CVS even makes surprisingly good black and white prints. I fed it some huge Tiff files, and it accepted them and made prints. This one is about $10 per 8×10.
The machine has the Kodak logo, but there is no information about the corporate parent.
I also don’t see how that article shows ignorance on the subject. Seems to explain the short history of Alaris and it’s relation to still film side of Kodak.
This is not about selling Kodak Moments though.
Well, it is full of references to Kodak Alaris manufacturing product, which they haven't really done since the closed the colour paper factory in Harrow.

I think they already sold the kiosk business when they sold everything related to photofinishing to Sino Promise in 2020.
The only remnant of Kodak Moments they seem to still retain is the business relating to things like Kodak branded clothing and coffee cups and the like.
The article is chock full of inaccuracies. But it is true that Kodak Alaris' owner - which remains the Pension Fund, which is being operated by the UK Pension authorities - has been seeking to maximize the value they can obtain from their asset. They cashed out a significant portion of their asset when the portion of the business was sold to Sino Promise. And they apparently continue to analyze whether the Pension Fund will get maximum return from continuing to operate the business, or whether the return is greater from selling it and investing the proceeds.
Any idea where the drylab supplies come from? Ink media etc.
It seemed like it stunk this way since the beginning.
Well, their doing it the way they did it meant that Eastman Kodak and Kodak film didn't disappear, the manufacturing facility in Rochester didn't have to be sold for scrap, thousands of people continued to be employed worldwide, an international distribution network staffed by experienced personnel was re-constituted instead of just disappearing and the Kodak Limited Pension Fund got more back than the $600,000,000.00 USD that they put into it.
I don't think that that equates to "stunk".
Eastman Kodak I think - but I doubt they manufacture.
This is from Eastman Kodak website, digital printing huge machines, not sure what is "made" just like most things purchased parts, chemicals, some in-house fabrication, a lot of assembly and brain power.
Kodachrome (ink) LIVES!
