Agreed. The petition called for a reformulation of 7250 and 7399 to E6.

I had a different impression as it seems that many of the labs who once
processed VNF, etc have not made the switch. Primarily I think this is due
to Kodak kind of dipping its toe in to check the water by only
manufacturing one stock, 7285. If Kodak does decide to make more E6 stocks
and perhaps even a print stock then the number of labs handling these
stocks might grow.

I have not had any experience with 7285 to see if its an improvement or
unique stock. Perhaps there are others of this list who can comment on
their experience with 7285. Tim Wilkins has probably had some experience
with this....are you out there Tim?
