I don't blame PDI for the confusion on their website- I blame Kodak! Why
can't they publish a simple catolog with item descriptions and catolog
numbers? I say this because I hope someone will prove me wrong a post and
URL to a pdf Kodak catolog- I will gladly retract my comment!
I haven't tried the Trebla yet; the catolog number (supplied by PDI) for
the
developer is 55DE550 at $71.60, the starter is 55DE519 at $3.25. If you
buy
it, tell them I sent you. I've had good experiences buying from PDI- I
recommend them.
