BRIEF: UK business invests in 18 Kettering-assembled Kodak printers
Oct 19, 2012 (Dayton Daily News - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- One of the United Kingdom's largest printing and mailing companies has invested in 18 Kodak Prosper S5 printing systems, Eastman Kodak said Friday.
The Prosper inkjet printing systems are designed and assembled at Kodak's operation in Kettering, at the Miami Valley Research Park off Research Boulevard. The Kettering operation is the company's largest work site outside its Rochester, N.Y. headquarters.
The Anton Group also bought two Kodak digital production presses, which are made in Rochester.
Kodak -- which had 500 employees in Kettering when the company last gave employee counts -- filed for Chapter 11 protection in late January. Kettering is home to the company's commercial inkjet facility, where its business inkjet printers are designed.
The Anton Group is one of the U.K.'s largest printing, mailing and fulfillment companies, Kodak said in a statement.
Kodak did not give an exact sales price, but in its announcement, the company called the purchase a "multimillion-pound deal." One British pound sterling is trading at about U.S. $1.60.
Kodak has said the Kettering operation will be a part of the company's future.

Anton Group Demonstrates Commitment to KODAK Stream Inkjet Technology with Multimillion-Pound Deal
Successful cooperation between the two companies drives development of game-changing, hybrid printing solutions for direct mail applications
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Oct 19, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Anton Group in Laindon, Essex, U.K., has invested in 18 KODAK PROSPER S5 Imprinting Systems and two KODAK NEXPRESS Digital Production Color Presses equipped with KODAK NEXPRESS Fifth Imaging Units to facilitate the new neon, metallic, and pearlescent ink enhancements. This raises Anton's total number of NEXPRESS Presses to nine, including the KODAK NEXPRESS SX Platform with its larger sheet size. The combination will raise Anton's competitive advantage in variable-data applications such as direct mail with high speed and rich quality.
This latest significant investment in Kodak supports Anton's growth strategy, which includes both hybrid and digital printing. "Our move into hybrid printing has been one of the most exciting projects I have been involved in," says John Knight, CEO of the Anton Group, a privately owned company and one of the United Kingdom's largest printing, mailing, and fulfillment companies. "It is totally game changing and has raised the bar. There is a massive expectation from our customer base, and we can see more work coming our way. Waste savings are 20 percent on any one job, speed to market is mammoth, and it cuts out all other processes."
Anton will use the KODAK PROSPER S5 Imprinting Systems to deploy a hybrid printing solution on its lithographic offset presses. The PROSPER S5 System will integrate with a HEIDELBERG CUTSTAR Short-Grain Sheeter. Kodak's digital imprinting systems will enable Anton to produce high-quality variable data inline on its lithographic presses at full engine speed for direct mail applications.
Anton's investment in its new NEXPRESS Presses reinforces its growth in digital production technology. The presses extend Anton's overall digital capabilities such as advanced personalization. The NEXPRESS Fifth Imaging Unit Solutions will provide options for uniquely creative, targeted direct mail applications, while the NEXPRESS SX Platform features high-volume capacity to produce hundreds of thousands of pieces. Anton is successfully using NEXPRESS Presses for multiple applications and has recently won new business, including a significant order from a leading private bank.
John Knight is recognized in the industry as leading the way. His entrepreneurial spirit thrives on having a competitive edge. "We continue to add the latest technology to our plant list," continues Knight. "We invest in the best to ensure winning the best possible market share. The Kodak team has been exceptional - working closely together with us on this project. We did it together. In today's tough business world, it's great to have partners you can trust. Clients win from it, and we will win from the ability to offer our customers the best possible products. Hybrid Printing is the future, and I believe it's here to stay. The industry needs an uplift, and this way offset printers will have a window to a digital future."

Ditching retiree healthcare benefits is 'very good news' for Kodak
By David Ward, San Diego Thursday, 18 October 2012
A Kodak spokesman has described the decision to end retiree and survivor healthcare benefits from 1 January 2013, thereby ending a $1.2bn liability, as "very good news" for the company.
In an interview this week with PrintWeek, Kodakās VP of corporate strategy and commercial marketing Chris Payne was keen to stress the upside of a deal that the company acknowledged would "pose challenges" for retirees.
"Thatās actually very good news for Kodak and its commercial imaging group because obviously the cash cost to the company of these obligations was very high and effectively that now diminishes from January 1," he said, adding there are other legacy costs the company is committed on as well.
The retiree benefits program includes medical, dental, life insurance and survivor income benefits, which in total equate to a $1.2bn liability that Kodak has reached an agreement in principle to resolve with the Official Committee of Retirees.
Kodak has offered a $7.5m cash payment to support initial administration and benefit obligations, a $635m unsecured claim and a $15m allowed administrative claim.
Meanwhile, in a separate announcement, Kodak has revealed how it will work with its creditors and bond holders as it makes slow but steady progress to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy some time in mid-2013.
The second announcement, which basically set the stage for negotiations with its many creditors, and bondholders, included the companyās forecasts for the coming year that project Kodakās US operations will have modest losses both this month and in November followed by a small $9m profit in December 2012.
Kodak estimated it US business will have negative cash flow of $110m in the first half of 2013, but rebound strongly in the second half of 2013 and in 2014 and 2015. Payne suggested the projections were all part of the bankruptcy process ā and part of the process to turn the company into a B2B focused firm primarily centered on digital commercial print.
"We need to file a plan for reorganization which we will do probably in the first half of next year," he continued. "In order to do that we need to have a business that is operationally sound as we move forward and the bond holders and creditors need to agree to the plan and then somebody needs to fund it as we come out of Chapter 11."
Payne added that most, but not all, of Kodakās creditors are related to legacy businesses that donāt involve commercial printing.
"There are very few creditors that are large customers, though there are some," he said. "The bond holders and credit holders are mostly financial institutions with some others on the consumer side, including retailers," he said.
Payne also stressed that the decision to focus the future of the company on its B2B commercial digital print/packaging was made well before the company filed for Chapter 11 in January. "We said this was the heart of the emerging company and you can see why itās a business that weāve chosen, because obviously it has opportunity for us and it has opportunity for our customers given how we see the business moving forward," he said.
"The good things about drupa or even last weekās Graph Expo in Chicago is how our customers view the solutions that we have ā that gives us confidence going forward."
In recent interviews, Kodak Chairman/CEO Antonio Perez said the company will exit Chapter 11 sometime in mid-2013 and Payne stressed those plans have not changed. "None of this impacts the time at all ā this is actually one of the formal steps you have to go through to get to the restructuring plan and there are a number of other steps that we have to file."
Payne stressed that the vast majority of its customers continued to voice support for Kodak commercial printing operations at last weekās GraphExpo in Chicago, adding: "That gives us confidence that our technology can provide a solution that adds value to our customersā work.
"Iāve seen some of the skepticism around but it really doesnāt affect where weāre going because I can see the value and our path has been pretty consistent since day one. If you go back to before Chapter 11, we always believe that the commercial printing business was the future for Kodak, given where our technology is and where our core customers are in this business."

Kodak (EKDKQ), SolaByte Enter Disc-to-Digital Content Sales Agreement
Eastman Kodak Company (OTCBB: EKDKQ) and SolaByte, a cloud media service provider, today announced they have signed an agreement to facilitate electronic sales of copyrighted music and motion pictures through automated disc-to-digital transfer and online content purchases.
As part of this agreement, Kodak and SolaByte will develop and market solutions that utilize Kodak's global footprint of 105,000 KODAK Picture Kiosks to automate the disc-to-digital upgrade process. The automated process identifies content stored on DVDs, CDs and BLU-RAY Discs and authenticates the disc as genuine prior to registering the license for the content to the consumer's account. The disc is digitally flagged by the system to limit the number of digital copies that can be obtained from the disc. SolaByte's patent-pending technology eliminates the need to move large video or music files to the cloud, conserves storage space, and does not compromise the playback of the original disc. The professionally mastered digital copies, made from the KODAK Kiosk, then may be easily used by consumers to listen to music or to watch movies online, at home, or on their portable devices.
Initially, the partnership will be focused on innovative ways of simplifying access to content of all types (e.g., music, movies, etc.) for consumers in North America. The first deployments are estimated to occur in mid-2013. In addition, SolaByte and Kodak will continue to advance digital solutions to expand options for consumers and help retailers open new revenue streams.

Eastman Kodak Company : Kodak Provides Brand Owners with Powerful Defense at International AntiCounterfiting Coalition (IACC) Annual Fall Conference
10/16/2012| 12:07pm US/Eastern
Kodak's brand protection technologies are helping brand owners establish more secure countermeasures to deter counterfeiters and diverters. Kodak will demonstrate these capabilities during the International AntiCounterfeiting Coalition (IACC) Annual Fall Conference at The US Grant in San Diego, Oct. 17-19. The event's attendees represent members of business and industry who are working on ways to combat threats related to product counterfeiting and piracy.
Kodak's experts will meet with attendees during the IACC Fall Conference to discuss the latest practices and share new technologies in use by brand owners and consumer packaged goods companies around the world. Businesses and enterprise organizations regularly work with Kodak to strengthen the security of business operations related to manufacturing, marketing, packaging, sales and product distribution.
"Counterfeiting and related criminal activities pose a major risk to the health and safety of consumers. Damages from these illicit activities can negatively impact multiple areas of a business including consumer safety, brand reputation and bottom-line profits," said Randy Young, Worldwide Director of Packaging & Brand Management Services. "Kodak's brand protection solutions source decades of expertise and experience. This enables us to develop technologies that meet current conditions and construct strategies that anticipate the next threat from a vastly sophisticated and rapidly evolving counterfeit and criminal market."
Kodak has a strong history of working with global companies to implement tailored brand protection security systems. Its applications include security features for use in packaging, inks, substrates, plastics, and directly in product materials. Kodak's brand protection solutions currently benefit customers in the pharmaceutical, health and beauty, consumer product and luxury goods industries.
Kodak arms customers with a broad portfolio of brand protection solutions. Technologies and applications include invisible product authentication, overt or visible artwork-based authentication, anti-diversion solutions and product serialization with track and trace system capabilities. The KODAK TRACELESS System also includes black and color inks with invisible markers to aid in anticounterfeiting efforts. The KODAK TRACELESS Color CIJ System can be printed in-house on an end-of-line continuous inkjet printer, eliminating the need to add an extra printer to an existing line. This visible ink authentication system provides brand owners with a variety of custom colors to match current branding and packaging design.
"Brand owners need proven technologies and a proactive partner to properly confront the threats related to counterfeiting, fraud and diversion," said Young. "Kodak's capabilities in imaging technology and material science continue to help us develop new ways to keep companies and their consumers safe from the harms of criminal activity."

Kodakās Future Centered On Commercial Printing
Reported by: Jane Flasch Email: jflasch@13wham.com
Print Story Published: 5:12 pm Share Updated: 5:28 pm
Rochester, N.Y. -- In the 1980ās you could buy a roll of Kodak film for a couple of bucks. In the 1990ās a high-end Kodak digital camera would set you back a couple hundred.
But if you want to buy a product from the Kodak of the future, you might need a couple million!
āThe Kodak that we know will no longer manufacture anything that a consumer can buy in a store,ā says George Conboy of Brighton Securities.
Gone are cameras, film, ink jet printing for the home office, and pretty much all of the former products an individual consumer would buy. Kodak will emerge smaller, leaner and almost solely focused on commercial printing products.
āThe technology is absolutely incredible,ā says Christian Schamberger President of Mercury Print Productions in Rochester. He shows off a printer that is the size of two RTS buses and prints four thousand pages a second for about a penny each.
Mercury purchased a Kodak Prosper ink jet printer a year and a half ago because of itās flexibility in printing customized text books. āItās a big investment especially for a company of our size,ā says Schamberger. āWe are banking our future on this technology.ā
Commercial printing is a $600 billion dollar industry. Kodakās printers make money. Yet the shift to this new core business invites comparisons to the companyās past move from film to digital.
Is it too little too late?
āThe printing industry is not a growing industry and Kodak will have to fight to muscle-in on a business that already has some entrenched competitors,ā says Conboy.
āWe believe there is confidence among the financial community in our Commercial Imaging business and its future business plans,ā says Kodak Chairman and CEO Antonio Perez. āWe are gratified that there appears to be interest among several potential lenders to finance this business.ā
What does it mean for Rochester? Research and development on commercial printers is done here, some of the components are made here and all of the ink is made here. Those are the jobs that will stay, along with those in motion picture film.
Kodak commercial printers get rave reviews. Technology Watch this week called them āclass leading.ā
At Mercury printing Kodakās Prosper sits next to printers from H-P and other competitors. When the company purchases another next year - it will be from Kodak.
āWe believe that Kodak is well-positioned in this industry and that their technology is game changing,ā says Christian Schamberger.

Kodak details projected post-bankruptcy financials
By MIKE DICKINSON
Rochester Business Journal
October 12, 2012
Eastman Kodak Co. on Friday provided a look at its projected post-bankruptcy financials and announced it is ready to begin discussions with key creditor groups on its reorganization plan.
Kodak, in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, projects pro-forma revenues for its Commercial Imaging business of $2.73 billion in 2013, with $1.2 billion in the first half and $1.52 billion in the second half.
It projects those revenues to climb to $2.85 billion in 2014 and $3.04 billion in 2015.
Kodak also forecasts total operating cash flow of $170 million in 2013, $243 million in 2014 and $285 million in 2015.
The Commercial Imaging businessāwhich is focused on commercial, packaging and functional printing solutions and enterprise servicesāwill form the company upon emergence from bankruptcy, Kodak said.
Kodak expects to exit Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the first half of 2013. It filed for bankruptcy protection Jan. 19.
The pro-forma projections take into account previously announced portfolio strategy decisions, such as plans to divest the document imaging and personalized imaging businesses, as well as wind down sales of consumer inkjet printers and focus on servicing its installed base of customers.
The revenue growth over the next three years is expected to come from Kodakās digital printing and enterprise segments, projected to amount to $833 million in 2013, $1.11 billion in 2014 and $1.37 billion in 2015.
Kodak projects its graphics, entertainment and commercial films segment to decline slowly from $1.72 billion in 2013 to $1.69 billion in 2014 and $1.64 billion in 2015.
The company said it was disclosing the projections to facilitate discussions with the widest possible group of stakeholders, including holders of publicly traded securities.
āAs we move forward to emergence and explore an array of financing options, we believe there is confidence and interest among the financial community in our Commercial Imaging business and its future business plans,ā said Chairman and CEO Antonio Perez in a statement. āWe are gratified that there appears to be interest among several potential lenders to finance this business and its emergence, and with this disclosure, we are now better positioned to explore these funding opportunities.ā
The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that Kodak is seeking several hundred million dollars in financing from hedge funds and other investors holding its debt. Firms taking part in the discussions with Kodak include Centerbridge Partners, GSO Capital Partners, Litespeed Partners and J.P. Morgan Securities, the newspaper reported in its Deal Journal blog.
Kodak last month announced it would reduce its global workforce by more than 3,900 positions in 2012.
As part of its annual planning process for 2013, the company will develop a detailed headcount budget, including the savings from the workforce reduction and the potential costs or benefits associated with the separation of the document imaging and personalized imaging businesses, Kodak states in the filing. That planning process is scheduled to be completed in late November.
On Wednesday, Kodak said it had reached a proposed agreement to end its retiree benefits program that includes medical, dental, life insurance and survivor income benefits.

Kodachrome generation1 of 8
As Kodak (EKDKQ, Fortune 500) sets course to emerge from bankruptcy protection in 2013, it will continue to lighten its load, hoping to cut costs and whittle itself down to its most profitable assets. In September, the company announced plans to cut 1,000 jobs as part of its restructuring, bringing the tally for the year up to 3,700. Later that same month, Kodak announced that it would get out of the inkjet printer sales business (though it'll stick with ink sales for now).
Some have second-guessed Kodak's decisions. Critics will no doubt play Monday-morning quarterback, but you can't deny the tremendous role Kodak has played in some of the greatest technological and scientific innovations of the 20th century. Just look at the many successful businesses it has directly or indirectly spawned. Here's a look at a handful of what Kodak has passed along over the years.

Kodak's Document Imaging division continues to gain recognition from system integrators, software developers, resellers and end users as an emerging leader in information capture and workflow management software. Attendees of Global Directions 2012 previewed Kodak's newest software applications that enable businesses, governments and healthcare providers to improve efficiency and consistency in their document capture, management and retrieval processes. Kodak's Document Imaging business, a leading provider of document scanners, capture software, service and support, hosted the software demonstrations as part of a three-day educational conference covering the latest trends in document management, collaboration, governance and business process automation.
"I'm impressed with the vision that Kodak's Document Imaging business is pursuing, which includes a conscious effort to focus on software and solutions," said Harvey Spencer, President of Harvey Spencer Associates, an analyst firm with more than 20 years of experience in the capture software market. "There is an enthusiasm for Kodak's Document Imaging business as it embarks on a new beginning. Its new and future products and services demonstrate a rich understanding of unstructured information and will provide huge value to corporations in multiple areas that start to leverage an understanding of big data."
Kodak Global Directions was designed to help attendees understand how to move beyond document capture into multi-source and intelligent management of enterprise information, which enables the implementation of content and document management strategies in cloud-based and on-demand environments. Attendees also learned about new applications such as KODAK Info Activate Solution, whichprovidebusinesses with the ability to manage paper documents with the speed and power of digital content,helpingto increase the efficiency of workflows, simplify metadata entry, and reduce processing costs.The event also provided an ecosystem for potential partners to work together on bringing comprehensive solutions to market. Click here to watch a highlight video from the event.
"For decades, customers of Kodak's Document Imaging business have depended on the performance of our award-winning products and the reliability of our service and support to keep document-driven operations up and running. Our software strategy builds upon these proven capabilities and paves the way for partners to help their customers use capture to accelerate their business workflow processes," said Dolores Kruchten, Kodak's President of Document Imaging. "At Kodak Global Directions 2012, we heard from a variety of experts about the ways that capture software will help businesses transform their organizations. Kodak is committed to leading this effort and being an innovator when it comes to making workflow and information more effective."
"Kodak's Document Imaging business is one of the leading players in the imaging and capture space," said John Mancini, President of the Association for Information and Image Management (AIIM) International. "Its vision is rooted in a rich past filled with proven experience based on years of building some of the industry's best practices. Microsoft SharePoint offers an incredible opportunity for solution providers like Kodak, because end users need help to take a platform and turn it into an application to solve business problems. And capture is such an exciting place to be right now. Capture is the onramp to make systems work, to make systems digital, to make systems more responsive to customers."
Attendees of Global Directions 2012 gave the conference high marks for its educational seminars and keynote presentations, which illustrated state-of-the-art capabilities in content management and collaboration from across the industry. Thought leaders from progressive companies such as Microsoft and Box underscored some of the key drivers and showcased the latest technologies and systems being embraced by enterprise organizations for document and information management.

"These elements are defining the next generation of document imaging and management technology. Kodak Document Imaging's emerging software business squarely addresses these elements and positions the organization, as well as its partners, to succeed in the future."
The international conference was comprised of solution providers, end users, technology providers and analysts. Attendees represented 17 countries including Kenya, Japan, Hong Kong, Turkey, Germany, Brazil and Mexico.

Eastman Kodak Co.ās bankrupt U.S. operations continue to edge closer to the break-even point, but there still remains a lot of red ink to bridge to get there.
The printing and imaging company on Wednesday filed its latest monthly operating report, required as part of its reorganization under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code.
For July, Kodakās domestic operations had sales of $162.5 million and a net loss of $78.7 million. On the upside, it was the smallest loss since the company began filing the monthly updates. On the downside, the results showed a return to gross losses ā June had been the first month with a gross profit.
Gross profits and losses donāt count such business expenses as taxes, research and development, and selling and administrative costs.
For July, Kodak had a gross loss of $3.2 million, compared with a gross profit of $19.2 million in June.
The monthly reports give a partial view of how Kodak is doing because they include only the U.S. operations and not its international businesses, though the expenses include some company-wide costs. Kodakās international operations are not part of the bankruptcy.
The reports show a company slowly slogging toward the black. Kodakās U.S. operations had a $100.3 million net loss in January, $97.3 million in February, $128.7 million in March, $91.3 million in April, $88.3 million in May and $160 million in June.
According to the monthly reports, U.S. revenues have swung widely: $143.9 million in January, $168.1 million in February, $108.6 million in March, $156 million in April, $173.6 million in May and $180.2 million in June.
The company continues to burn through roughly $70 million a month in cash, with the U.S. operations ending July with $438.2 million in cash on hand, compared with $510.2 million at the end of June.

I always read that it looks bad for shareholders. The old shares were canceled at the end of Chapter 11, the only company bonds were acquired. By the end of Chapter 11 then a new capital stock was set up, which consisted not of existing shares, or existing shares were not converted to the new floor. The existing shareholders went from completely empty.
GO KODAK ... GOOOOOO ... NEW area....
GREAT thanks... i hope ... Kodak is successful
Apple appeals Kodak ruling in bankruptcy court patent case
Apple Inc. is appealing a bankruptcy judge's ruling in favor of Eastman Kodak Co. that blocked the iPhone maker's claims to two patents.
Apple said in a court filing Wednesday that it is challenging U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Allan Gropper's decision that gave Kodak a partial victory in a lawsuit over ownership of 10 patents.
The assets are in a portfolio of patents that Kodak put up for sale as part of its bankruptcy restructuring. The Rochester, New York-based company sued Apple after the Cupertino, California-based company asserted claims to the patents.
Gropper ruled in favor of Kodak on two of the patents. The judge denied the company's request for a pretrial ruling known as summary judgment on the eight others and said Kodak could renew its request.
The lawsuit is Eastman Kodak Co. v. Apple Inc., 12-01720, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Apple Inc. (AAMRQ) is appealing a bankruptcy judgeās ruling in favor of Eastman Kodak Co. (EKDKQ) that blocked the iPhone makerās claims to two patents.
Apple said in a court filing yesterday that it is challenging U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Allan Gropperās decision that gave Kodak a partial victory in a lawsuit over ownership of 10 patents.
The assets are in a portfolio of patents that Kodak put up for sale as part of its bankruptcy restructuring. The Rochester, New York-based company sued Apple after the Cupertino, California-based company asserted claims to the patents.
Gropper ruled in favor of Kodak on two of the patents. The judge denied the companyās request for a pretrial ruling known as summary judgment on the eight others and said Kodak could renew its request.
The lawsuit is Eastman Kodak Co. v. Apple Inc., 12-01720, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Is It REDEMPTION Day for Kodak Patents?

The final hearing for Kodakās patent auction has been scheduled for August 30, signaling that news of a sale may come as early as today. According to a court notice, the photography company is expected to give a New York bankruptcy court the Notice of Final Sale regarding the auctioned patents by Thursday, with the hearing to follow a week later.

The final sale hearing had earlier been set for August 13, but Kodak was granted two extensions in order to try and raise more money.
Kodak is trying to sell a portfolio of 1,100 patents as it tries to pay back a loan of over $660 million to creditors and get out of bankruptcy. The company also owes another $750 million to secured bondholders. When bidding started in early August, the early offers were much lower than Kodakās expectations. While the photography company hopes to raise between $2.2 and $2.6 billion through the portfolio, the first received bids hovered between $150 million and $250 million. The Wall Street Journal had reported last week Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), who had earlier submitted rival bids for the portfolio, had formed a joint consortium along with several Android manufacturers to buy the patents.
Kodak is allowed to sell the 1,100 patents as a portfolio, break them into smaller pieces, or to cancel the auction altogether.
