pdn online reports that as of 2006 Kodak will no longer be producing black and white photographic papers.

“Kodak will discontinue the production and sale of black and white photographic papers as part of its worldwide digital growth strategy,” said a company statement. “As the imaging industry transitions from film to digital technologies, demand for B and W paper is declining by 25 percent per year and no longer represents an attractive market for Kodak.”

Kind of leaves film devotees twisting in the wind.
