[LargeFormat] Kodak Discontinuing B&W Paper

[Ted Harris]

Does it really matter?  I have been sitting here trying to remember  
the last time I used Kodak paper (except Azo) and believe it was  
sometime in the late 1960's.  I have had a flurry of phone calls and  
email exchanges on this today and no one I have talked with uses  
Kodak paper or has for years.

 From a marketing/profit center point of view I have to suspect that  
Kodak's share of the global paper market is relatively small compared  
to their share of the market in other profit centers.  Business  
decisions follow different logic in a company as large as Kodak.
