Date marker says Feb. 3rd 1987
Polychrome Corporation, a brainchild of Mr. Halpern, is now a major part of Kodak Co. and continues to live on. But the small company spirit died on Jan 1. 1998 when the company became a part of DIC-Kodak joint venture.

Just a snapshot from 1987
As licensing agreement was to expire in 1988, DIC started to plan own production of PS plates based on Polychrome technology. This was one of the meetings held in Tokyo Graphic Center. Late Umemoto is seen far left front, standing in the middle is Dr. Oe who spierheaded the project and later became president of DIC, to the left of Dr. Oe is Mr. Hayakawa who lead the R&D in Gunma ever since. Ever young looking Simon Chu is sitting next to me.
