Fuji Deals Kodak Another Blow in U.S. Photo Business: Eastman Kodak Co. has lost some more ground in the photofinishing business to Japanese rival Fuji Photo Film Ltd., which will now supply photographic paper to what was once an important Kodak client. Fuji said it has struck a deal to supply color paper to the 550 in-store labs of Ritz Camera Centers Inc., once an important Eastman Kodak Co. client. Ritz is the nation’s third-largest mini-lab chain after Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and CPI Corp.’s Fox Photo Inc. A month after Fuji grabbed Wal-Mart’s photofinishing business in July, Rochester, N.Y.-based Kodak struck back by acquiring 51% of Fox Photo. Fuji declined to reveal the terms or length of its contract with Beltsville, Md.-based Ritz.
