I meant precisely what I said. Since Ilford can no

longer buy small

amounts of some of the critical chemicals, they

must buy the whole minimum

order. In the case of one of these chemicals, the

minimum quantity is

equivalent to 40 years use for Ilford.

I learned this when I was on a factory visit with

Ilford in Mobberley two

years ago.

Hi Ole,

what did you mean when you wrote the Ilford

needs to hold 40 years of

sensitizer dye in stock ?

Now they are the largest buyer of that chemical

in Europe, and have to

hold enough sensitizer dye for the
next 40 years in stock!
