I've been getting a lot of questions from super 8 collectors on whether prints I am selling are "Kodak" prints. This seems odd to me. Can anyone explain to me why this is a common question?

The only color stock that I am aware of that is labeled "Kodak" was SP stock, which while better than regular Eastman stock, still turns brown or yellow over time. The low-fade Eastman stock was labeled "Eastman LPP" until the early 90s, when they went back to simply "Eastman" (although it's still low-fade). I'm assuming that when people ask about Kodak stock, they're really asking about Eastman LPP?? Or is there something else I'm missing here?

The only thing I can think of is that AGFA stock tends to favor blue a bit while LPP stock tends to favor green (when printed - not due to fading) -- do people prefer that?

If anyone knows the origin of this, I'd be very interested to hear it. I've never had that question ("Is it Kodak") relating to a 16mm print...

Kodak pre-stripe is probably what they're after and not thinking about lpp at all. I've purchased a couple of features recently simply because they were Kodak pre-stripe so I thought I'd get a pretty perfect re-recording on them.

How does one tell a Kodak pre-stripe print?

Kodak pre-stripe film - is that the Kodak film which is striped before it is exposed and processed? The kind that used to come in 50ft. sound cartridges for super-8 cameras?
