Perhaps 3 different suppliers?
Not the past, but now
Arista 4X5 film
100, 200, 400 ASA/ISO or more?
Who makes those now!

I am pretty sure it is Forma. Same ISO range, same low quality cardbord boxes, same transparent tape around the box.

If it's Arista.EDU we're talking about, the notch code tells me it's Foma. Don't know who makes their Ortho Lith film.
The Arista line is made by Foma.
The lith film is US made in New England - cannot remember the company name - specialized in graphic material for printers
Thank you all
I am stocking more film next week on Pay-Day!

Ordinary three speeds of Fomapan; same thing.
There was a video in the Foma factory and it had bricks of EDU being packaged in plain sight...
Other manufacturers products were re-packaged by Freestyle over decades and sold as house products, even Tri-X, Ilford RC & FB, Forte' etc, but not for long... They started post-war with much war surplus films that had to be cut down to popular sizes and re-packaged for a market that had very little film during the war...
Early in the pandemic, I needed a brick of Foma 100 120, and normally just drive over to Freestyle, but it was closed for in-store purchases... Ended up having to order the EDU from B&H in NYC to get free shipping, but still had to pay sales tax...

I still have hand rolled 35MM Arista from 1998
