So . . .its back to Dry-plate technology?

Dry glass plates would be a workable alternative if the emulsions were relativly "moern" eg Panchromatic and at least ISO 100.

Most sheet film is coated on polyester base, which is superior to acetate anyway. Fuji coats some of their color sheet films on triacetate.

Isn't Kodak just going to buy it from another manufacturer? Is Kodak sheet film coated on polyester?
