The photosensitized products were all in one division and just the inkjet stuff was separate. Paper should be OK as long as film is. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com

I think its very good news black and white selection would have taken quite a hit otherwise. Note that the inkjet ink part of Ilford was never under any threat. -- Sander +++ Out of cheese error +++

I did know that the photo paper was separate from film, but not sure if it was connected to the inkjet paper. -- Skip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com

I was under the impression that the split was between B&W materials in the UK, and inkjet plus Ilfochrome in Switzerland. The latest announcement has management taking over all the B&W operations, with the inkjet/Ilfochrome business still for sale.

I hadn't even considered Ilfochrome. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
