According to postings on newsgroups and a report from Fox News Kodak is discontinuing the production of BW papers. This again like the Agfa Photo declaration of bankruptcy is one of those strange news that is very troublesome yet in a particular way irrelevant. Used a pack of Kodak paper a few years ago, and never again after seeing how much better Ilford paper is. And if anything this is good news for Ilford and all the other remaining BW paper manufacturers because they can grab up Kodak's market share.
