Transition Pains: Kodak has finally replaced its B&W photographic paper with a new product for the digital age, writes Terry LaneAn important milestone in the transition from
silver-based photography to digital imaging was passed in June. Kodak announced
that it was stopping production of conventional black and white photographic
paper. The factory in Brazil was closed and the company drew a little closer to
its downsizing target of 15,000 sackings worldwide. For those of us who have
spent years puddling around in the darkroom up to our elbows in toxic chemicals,
it was almost unbelievable that the company that had democratised photography
more than 100 years ago should be withdrawing from the basic chemistry and
technology on which it was based.
