But the company caught people by surprise yesterday when it announced two new film products \u2014 Kodacolor 100 and Kodacolor 200. Just as important, it announced that it would be distributing them itself, rather than going through Kodak Alaris, which has handled distribution since the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2012\/8\/24\/3264414\/kodak-sell-film-scanner-kiosk-divisions\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> company split<\/a> following<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2012\/1\/19\/2717973\/kodak-files-for-chapter-11-bankruptcy\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> bankruptcy<\/a> proceedings in 2012.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">In an<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DPRHtyQjenU\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=49736aeb-312b-4925-b5ef-e040bd7d6cac\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Instagram<\/a> post Kodak described Kodacolor as \u201csub-brands of existing Kodak films,\u201d meaning they\u2019re not completely new film stock. My suspicion is that Kodacolor 100 is based on ProImage 100 and Kodacolor 200 on Color Plus 200, judging from the limited sample images I\u2019ve seen. While new names on existing films might be less exciting than completely new film stock, this is still a big deal for photographers who have been facing steadily increasing film prices over the last several years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Increased capacity following<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/11\/28\/24308172\/kodak-film-factory-upgrade-rochester\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> upgrades at its Rochester, New York factory<\/a> and cutting out the middleman should mean Kodak should be able to get more film into customers hands faster to better meet demand.
