Kodak Files for Bankruptcy May bet on Commercial Inkjet Printers – Video

Kodak one of the world best brand has filed for bankruptcy yesterday after consumers embraced digital cameras, a technology Kodak invented and failed to commercialize.

The Rochester, New York-based company, which traces its roots to 1880, listed assets of $5.1 billion and debt of $6.8 billion in Chapter 11 documents filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan.

“They were a company stuck in time,” said Robert Burley, an associate professor at Toronto’s Ryerson University who has photographed shuttered Kodak facilities in the U.S., Canada and France since 2005. “Their history was so important to them, this rich century-old history when they made a lot of amazing things and a lot of money along the way. Now their history has become a liability.”
