| Dear Michel,
Not really, in 2008 with POLAROID it was just not a deal we could agree to, this one is possible, even if its called 'impossible' !!!

| This is good news and I hope it is successful.
This is slightly off topic but is there a possible update available on the production of a substitute paper for the discontinued Kentmere Document art ?
Word has it that this was in the pipeline.
Regards,
John. | |

| Good luck! If nothing else, this project is an advertisement of Ilford/Harman commitment to fine art photography.
Just don't go broke trying to make this work! If it turns into a cash sinkhole, pull the plug! Don't jeopardize your other product lines that we all depend upon so much. | |

| Just curious: why would you want Ilford to produce these films if they are already available from Fuji? Quote:

Due to Ilford's history of B&W product development, is it safe to assume that your contributions to this endeavour are going to center around B&W instant products?
Can you offer any further information as to what types of products they are interested in improving? I take it that it is going to be more professional-line products than the amateur stuff like iZone. | |

| Simon - I do hope your press release gets picked up by the BBC or something and broadcast out on the news - I can really see this as a good potential story as the ceasing of production by Polaroid was covered quite widely.
