Just because of the marketplace of today it is questionable whether a customer would pay the extra costs related to a custom-made film in contrast to the regular one if the latter would be available to him.

I was speaking of Harman's viewpoint - why would it be advantageous to them to offer their existing films for re-badging?

My sense is that their custom coating business - both photographic and non-photographic - is at least as important to them as their photographic business.
