Demise of Xtol 1 liter packages?

from (rardinger@kc.rr.com)
Hello,

I use xtol essentially as my only developed at this time. I have everything worked out for the films I use and would like not to change. I have heard rumors/read postings that the solution Kodak has come up with to the packaging problem of Xtol (especially part A) in the 1 liter sizes is to stop selling Xtol in that size.

I noticed I could not purchase it from Calumet recently (at least it is not on their web site). I have gotten in the habit of ordering a number of packages from large volume dealers who should have high product turn over (locally most 1 liter Xtol has been on store shelves a while and is frequently "caked"). I tend to work in bursts in the darkroom and like knowing my developer is fresh so use the 1 liter packs. I could never use up the 5 liter batch in the time I would be comfortable having it stored.

Anybody else know if Kodak will actually stop selling Xtol in the 1 liter size?

Robert
