Digital BW, The Print

What's next?  Anything that doesn't produce the board's/stockholders profit expectations.  I expect that you and I, as b&w people, don't contribute enough to meet those profit expectations. I would not be surprised to see the big film companies drop almost all b&w except the Porta type b&w's that can be process/printed using color equipment.  And, even that won't last much past the point where the film processors digitize everything before printing.  At that point, if you want b&w, just say so.  They'll hit the b&w button before the high speed inkjet (or whatever) printer prints your image.
