The reason for the confusion is that ilford split into two companies when it went into receivership. 'Ilford' is now a swiss based inkjet paper company, Harman technology is the old film company in chesire who have permission to use the Ilford name on their film.

Thank you people! I don`t know what is going on with them, they could have mentioned it....

?? What do you mean by 'the old film company'? I thought Ilford was bought out buy a new company formed by its board of directors, and the name Harman had some connection to the founder of Ilford or something like that? I didn't realise Harman was already around making film before the buy out?

I think that's what he meant

The UK based, film manufacturing part of the old Ilford company was indeed the subject of a management buyout. The new company is called Harman Technology Ltd, and they trade under the names Harman Photo (selling 'Professional Inkjet Media') and Ilford Photo (selling 'Black and White Photographic Products '). As I understand it, the Ilford name is licenced solely for use on traditional photographic products from the Swiss owners (Ilford Imaging) who still use it on their own Ilford Galerie-branded inkjet products.

Many people regard the new Harman Technology owned Ilford as being the 'old' company, in the sense that this Ilford is once again the UK-owned photographic-focused company that it was in its heyday. Also, as it's run by the same people from the same location as before, little has changed other than the ownership.

Same thing happened to me the other day Nachkebia. A big chill went through me when NO traditional materials were anywhere to be found. I've since fixed my bookmarks.

Brrr!
