"Tylenol for Arthritis Pain and regular Tylenol has 2 major differences, one being a timed release capsule, also, Tylenol for Arthritis Pain has more active ingredient than even Tylenol Extra Strength."

 

Well I suppose I should never make any more decisons based on what that pharmacist says!

 

Lol,

You can believe the man, I'll believe the product lable. But then, the labels are purposefully misconstructed to mislead the readers, isn't it? All Tyleno or Fuji for that matter cares about is making more money with no concern for buinesses ethic and the Law, right?

Another comment in line with this;

 

As a new employee at EK, the first course I remember taking was "Ethical Business Practices". It was taught by Mr. Vaughn, the then President and CEO of the company, and he greeted each of us at the buffet lunch after the course.

 

He told us "This is part of our culture and how you are to behave towards our customers and in developing our products, it is not just how you are expected to behave. We do not pay lip service to ethics here". That is a paraphrase of what he said, but I saw it carried out in practice.

 

For that alone, I remain proud to have worked for EK. A lot of you out there moan about all of the photo companies, including EK, but a lot of effort goes into honesty. There is a lot more that I could say, but I won't.

 

On another matter, someone remarked above that Fuji cuts professional products from the center of a roll to insure quality and consistancy. If EK had to do that, the roll would be scrapped for nonuniformity. Edge to edge uniformity of film is a must during the coating process. EK coating technology is the best and most confidential of all of its manufacturing processes along with emulsion making technology. To make good uniform large sheets of film or paper, the coating must be uniform. Therefore, either the information about Fuji in this regard is wrong, or, they cannot coat uniform large sheets of film and paper. Think about that please.

 

Recenly here, someone posted originals with defects in the film that I recognized as comets, a coating defect from a particular type of coating methodology. I suggested that the person contact the manufacturer for replacement film. EK has virtually 100% film inspection and that type of defect would never go out the door as product. I have seen film and paper scrapped that I would be happy to use but it was not up to EK standards.

 

I have just gotten a box of 16x20 B&W paper from a major mfgr (not EK) and there were spots and missing emulsion on 2 sheets of the paper. You could see it and actually feel the depression in the spots where the emulsion was missing.

 

You can use any mfgrs products you want. I have first hand knowledge of most mfgrs products, and I still prefer EK products for uniformity and quality from batch to batch and side to side. And NO, I don't get a comission or price break. ~grin~, wish I did.
