Kodak getting out of digital print???

[JasonM]

I have heard rumors that Kodak is looking to spin off it's digital print division. Any one know if there is any truth to this.

There was a lot of discussion last week on PrintCEO:

Print CEO - Printing Industry News Blog - Kodak is Not Divesting its NexPress Business

Then this was announced today:

Print CEO - Printing Industry News Blog - Kodak and Ricoh Partnership

Something to that effect was actually reported by the wall street journal, but has now been clarified as inaccurate. Kodak isn't ditching digital just yet. Google "Kodak not divesting digital".

*edit* looks like Cory has more recent info

Do you guys know is this still the case, because I am still hearing talk of it?
Thanks!

Yes, the other two posts are accurate to date.

The controversy started in a Wall Street Journal article that was later retracted/clarified by the publication. Kodak itself had a strong and aggressive response that (almost) immediately squelched the rumors.

Rumors are rumors and, frankly, there are no facts that support the one that Kodak is divesting that business. Google will give you a lot of hits on the topic.

Kodak is strongly committed to its digital printing business. Here is a video from our CEO Antonio Perez on this subject. YouTube - Antonio Perez - Msg for Customers & Graphic Comm. Industry
