Hello everyone. My company has been using this camera since about 1990 and it works wonderfully well for what we do. Our core business is notary stamp production. We use 10x12 film shot on the Kodak image maker and then use that developed negative to begin the stamp making process. Unfortunately we are starting to encounter some issues and I'm thinking the camera is nearing the end of it's life cycle. I am unable to find anyone relatively local (Panhandle of Florida) that can either repair or even refer me to anyone who knows much at all about this style of camera (vertical processing). I stumbled onto these forums today with the hopes that someone may be able to either recommend someone or know of a shop that would at least know what I'm talking about.
I would like to know specifically if there is somewhere that still manufactures this style of camera. I'm aware that the kodak image maker itself is no longer in production, but what about other brands or at least a camera that one can use 10x12 film on? Our business does not require a camera with a lot of bells and whistles. We pretty much do the same type of shot over and over again. So I imagine a basic version of a camera type that matches our old Kodak would suffice. I've contacted Kodak and they didn't have anyone on staff that could speak to me about this older technology. Even the shop online that I buy our film from doesn't have anyone able to refer me to someone with a bit more knowledge. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
