Kodak Introduces Innovative New Aerial Film Product: Kodak Aerocolor III Negative Film 2444ROCHESTER, N.Y., April 14, 2000--Aerial Imaging, a commercial business within Eastman Kodak Company's Commercial & Government Systems Division (C&GS), announced today the launch of its newest aerial film product, Kodak Aerocolor III negative film 2444. "Aerocolor III is the next generation of color aerial film technology," said Daniel Brake, general manager of Aerial Imaging at Kodak C&GS. "This product will exceed customer expectations by providing unprecedented image quality and breakthrough improvements in processing technology." Kevin Johnson of 3Di Florida says, "Kodak's new 2444 film gives us sharper negatives and increased speed, enabling us to produce products far superior to what is currently available." Furthermore, the use of 2444 enables delivery of image products with greater information content and an improved visual impact. The Kodak Aerocolor III negative film is an unmasked medium speed very fine-grain color negative aerial film. In addition to the superior image quality gained from the film's fine grain, the speed and the wide exposure latitude provide increased exposure flexibility. Designed for general use in medium to high altitude aerial-mapping, surveying, and general land management photography. Aerocolor III is also recommended for use in digital film recorders, serving as both an acquisition and output film. Aerocolor III is the world's first unmasked color negative aerial film to be designed for processing in Flexicolor chemicals for process C-41. "We listened to our customers and delivered on their recommendations" said Steve Mango, Aerial Imaging's product development manager. In addition, a newly formulated developer, Kodak AN-6, has been introduced for those desiring faster development times. The patent-pending AN-6 developer technology speeds up the development time by nearly 40% for equivalent results when compared to Flexicolor chemicals. AN-6 developer also requires less work and chemicals than the current AN-5 developer. Contrast can be easily tailored using the C-41 process, making 2444 suitable for a wide variety of applications. Aerocolor III replaces Aerocolor II film 2445. This new film provides static protection and is highly scratch resistant producing cleaner scans and reproductions. An antihalation undercoat allows the film to maintain outstanding highlight sharpness. The film, an ISO-A equivalent 125, (approximately ISO 320) is one stop faster than its predecessor, increasing image capture opportunities under less-than-ideal conditions. It reduces the effects of atmospheric haze and provides better image quality and contrast by incorporating an ultraviolet-absorbing filter. Refrigeration with this film is not critical--both when unexposed and exposed--making it easier to store and manage inventory, especially when used in remote locations. Kodak's Aerial Imaging unit is the leading provider of high-resolution aerial imaging products and services worldwide, including camera and duplicating films in black-and-white, infrared and color for topographical and structural surveys, GIS, mapping, agriculture, environmental protection, photogrammetry, land management and urban planning. www.kodak.com
