K'ODAK?

Just developed my first roll of 400-2TMY. Unlike all the other Kodak film I've shot in the last couple years (400TX, P3200TMZ, 125PX, Portra 160, 400, 800, and Ektar) which has the K'ODAK edge markings, 400-2TMY has KO'DAK on it's edge. I'm just curious, but what does this signify?

Sorry for reviving such an old thread.
 
Hard to say unless it was on old roll. The old symbols would make that a Canadian Made roll, but the Camera Heights plant was demolished a few years back . Anyone know if they have redefined the code?
 
I had been searching for
something
a few days ago
and found a -cine- site which had all this stuff explained

no idea what I was looking up
hmmm
almost sure it was azo paper or toning related

but i don't care anymore
 
If someone tries to sell you the B"rooklyn Bridge, don't pay more than a nickel for it.
 
Or even the B'rooklyn Bridge.
 
I've just looked at the Kodak films I developed during the last two years:
- Tri-X 400 (400TX) - 120 only
- T-Max 400 (TMY-2) - 135, 120 and 4x5"
- T-Max P3200 (TMZ) - 135 only

All of them have Kodak written on their edges. No apostrophes. :confused:
 
It's a dot. A very small dot. I missed it the first time I looked.
 
OK, I've looked closer with a 7x loupe, and there's indeed a tiny dot on some films.
- 400TX in 120, TMY-2 in 120 and TMZ have an upper dot after the first K (looks somewhat like K'ODAK)
- TMY-2 in 135 has a lower dot after the O (looks like KO.DAK)
- TMY-2 in 4x5" has no dot whatsoever, not even a teensy-weensy dot. But, unlike all others, this one says "Kodak" instead of "KODAK".

You are right. I mistyped earlier. The dot is between the KO and the DAK, but it's on the bottom, not on the top. Like KO.DAK
