Can they increase demand by reducing supply?
From the article. It's a five-year contract with Alaris which means they apparently committed to five years. That's good for us users. I wish we could learn the terms of the deal between Kodak and Alaris. Does anyone know any details?
What’s the exact dependent variable, that which is being measured, and what units is the y-axis?
Numbers represent search interest relative to the highest point on the chart for the given region and time. A value of 100 is the peak popularity for the term. A value of 50 means that the term is half as popular. A score of 0 means there was not enough data for this term.While only a sample of Google searches are used in Google Trends, this is sufficient because we handle billions of searches per day. Providing access to the entire data set would be too large to process quickly. By sampling data, we can look at a dataset representative of all Google searches,

In 2005 I didn't like how Kodak was waffling, so switched to HP5 sheet film (was already using Ilford papers) and started making my developers and fixers from scratch instead of using Kodak chemical products after reading how Ilford intended to be "the last man standing where black and white products are concerned"
That was the kind of attitude I could support.

I hear you Andrew. For me I would substitute Kodak with Fuji. I've run myself ragged chasing Velvia 50 from pillar to post for years. Using Ektachrome at this point in 120-4x5. I think the lining of my stomach is starting to heal finally.For a company that has given me so much grief for so many years, I do wish them all the success in the world.
Wasn't Alaris up for sale? Or did they work something out to stay in the business? I would have thought Kodak would have re- absorbed Alaris back into the main company.
They couldn't afford it - they don't have the capital nor the ability to absorb the world wide infrastructure.
Wouldn't Eastman Kodak be responsible for the Alaris retirees again? Who needs that?
Hope you don't have to. As in other threads, being optimistic they are just suffering the post covid + supply chain shocks. Instax is being churned out and that requires film; but it would be wonderful to have Fujicolor and Fujichrome available again. A decade and half ago I would have voted for Fuji as a longstanding manufacturing of color.If Fuji don't restart in-house production of colour negative film I shall eat one of my most smelly socks.

No - the Alaris retirees are Alaris'/the Kodak Limited/UK pension authority's responsibility. That was the term of the bankruptcy settlement. There still is a huge amount of money in that subsumed fund - just not enough, if the actuarial projections are accurate. Those pesky Kodak retirees have this awkward propensity for living for a long time.
As far as I'm ware, the accrued Kodak pension rights for Eastman Kodak and Eastman subsidiary employees other than the Kodak Ltd. employees are still being paid - they never stopped being paid. Many employees lost some or all of their extended health benefits though.
The last numbers that I saw for the funds set aside for retirees for Kodak Canada indicated that that fund was close to or fully funded, depending as ever on whether the actuarial projections bear out.
