Kodak Pre-discloses Plans To Discontinue Slide Projectors
and Accessories in 2004
Eastman Kodak Company has confirmed plans to discontinue the
manufacture and sales of slide projection products and
accessories in June of 2004. This early disclosure is being
made to key user groups in order to allow time for adoption
of a replacement technology or purchase of backup slide
projector products.
The Kodak products included in this event are Carousel,
Ektagraphic, Ektalite and Ektapro slide projectors and all
Kodak Slide Projector accessories.
The current plan is to cease manufacturing in June 2004.
Kodak anticipates that small quantities of new Carousel,
Ektagraphic, Ektalite and Ektapro slide projectors will be
available through the end of 2004. In addition, the Kodak
distributor, Comm-Tec, in Germany plans to sell Ektapro
projectors and accessories beyond 2004.
Kodak will offer service and support for slide projectors
until 2011.
Slide projectors continue to be used in many government
applications due to a proven track record of cost-effective,
reliable, high-quality image projection. Combining the seven
years of service and support with a long history of
trouble-free operation, means that slide projectors will
continue to enjoy many years of productive use.
Investigating and installing replacement technologies can be
a challenging and costly effort with a long implementation
timeline. So, many may wish to purchase backup units for
currently installed slide projectors while making the
transition. Upcoming government budgeting activities make it
prudent to pre-disclose now in order to allow ample time to
include slide projector demand in the government budgeting
plans for 2004.
Making Kodak aware of your future requirements will insure
that there is enough products on hand before production
ends. You can do this by contacting
