Fine. I give up. Eastman Kodak sells 20m rolls of film to Alaris at $15 per roll and revenue from this somehow amounts not to $300m but $70m as reported in their financial statement.

Kodak Alaris must be run by the biggest idiots ever. They wrote off $2.8bn in debt and paid additional $650m to end up hostage to Eastman Kodak. Believe that if you want...

I'm curious where you see the still film sales to KA $ amount on the EK financial reports.
Every distributor who has an exclusive manufacturer is both dependent on that manufacturer, and is in a strong position with respect to that manufacturer.
And vice-versa.
There is an interdependence there - just as there was when everything that KA does was in-house.

Alaris only markets Kodak films produced by Eastman Kodak. That is a fact. If Henning says otherwise, he is wrong...

Henning has never posted otherwise, nor have I claimed he did.

...I've explained why it doesn't make sense for Alaris to price BW film more aggressively to be more competitive.

You've speculated, not explained. Just as I speculated. :smile:
