Kodak Wins Round in Ink Fight

One of Eastman Kodak Co.’s key suppliers must continue to provide it with inkjet ink, a federal judge in Rochester ruled Friday. Kodak sued Collins Ink Corp. last month after the Ohio manufacturer tried to end a 10-year-old supplier deal.

U.S. District Court Judge David G. Larimer sided with Kodak’s argument that Collins failed to follow the terms of the supplier contract that allowed for termination of the agreement after 180 days’ notice.

“Anxiety, nervousness or ’buyer’s remorse’ about the wisdom of the contract does not absolve one from complying with all the terms of the contract,” Larimer wrote.
