Digital BW, The Print

Currently, the most popular way of printing digital images is with wet
processes, using digital printers such as the Fuji Frontier.  So materials
will still be manufactured for some time to come.

None of these materials is difficult to manufacture for even a small
company, so there will probably always be someone producing them, at least
for many years to come.

If alternate forms of printing can match silver prints in every respect,
though, I have no problem with letting silver prints go.
