Things to do in 2014:
1. Assemble a new work group locally, in Europe, and Far East
2. Revisit all old vendor quotes, sales projections, and new suppliers
3. Revise the set of technical drawings
4. Prepare fundraising effort and execute
If 4 is successful, hire the production engineer, tool up, and start production. The supply of 4x5 film has to be revised and there are some new candidate emulsions yet to test. Also there is the finalization of the receiver sheet substrate and coatings, which will take some time to finalize.
If the fundraiser falls short, wrap up the technical knowledge into some sort of open source format, and schedule a couple of handmade New55 workshops.

I hope you can achieve 4 ! Good luck and good work
Create the KickStarter and the funds will come!
Have you spoken with any European companies such as FOMA or ADOX? They both have some extremely good emulsions in 4x5 and handle a lot of production of films and papers. Cutting, packaging etc. I have contacts at both and can refer you if you like.
Good luck, and if you need European partener ... here I am!!

All the best
This is fantastic news. I always hoped Dr. Maps would add this to IBV. So glad someone else is undertaking the effort to bring this awesome film back. Let me know if there is ANY way I can help. More on the consumer testing side of things than anything else I suppose. This is just fantastic.
Hi, I'm in the UK, am a photographer and would be happy to help out as I'm rediscovering Polaroid. I've got the time too as I'm retired.

There sure be market for your films in Lithuania :)
It's great what you are doing.
Best regards.
I will support and promote a kickstarter campaign for the NEW55 and will help in any other way that my limited knowledge of chemistry, but highly artistic, brain can muster!
We'll be glad to share N55p ideas in Lithuania. www.afd.lt
Looking foward for news.
I'm in tokyo where such a film would be very warmly received
So you're trying to make the film that impossible project can't? Like type 80?

Take me updated! My personal stock of old 55 is dramatically reducing!
Start a Kickstarter campaign, I think you would be pleasantly surprised by the effect it would have. GO GO GO!!!
