Black and White film market : Over recent times, the demand and usage of digital and film based imaging have settled into more discernable levels, with film very much holding its own. Howard Hopwood, marketing director of black and white photographic materials manufacturer Ilford Photo, sees a very positive future for the traditional medium. Ilford Photo has established a primary position in the photographic market and has led the worldwide resurgence of black and white photography. Although the mainstream digital imaging manufacturers and suppliers seemed to have ceased their alarmist, some would say desperate, predictions of a speedy demise for film photography, it is obvious that the market mix of media has changed dramatically.

Football posters printed with Xerox digital press : When the Boise State University Broncos arrived back on campus the day after their football season ended with the Fiesta Bowl victory, 10,000 color posters were ready for distribution at a gala celebration. Created on the Xerox Corporation iGen3 110 Digital Production Press, the posters featured a montage of the final plays that sealed their 43-42 overtime bowl victory. Such fast turnaround time is one of the reasons Boise State University’s Printing and Graphic Services Department purchased the flagship Xerox iGen3 digital press. It is being used to expand print services and produce jobs such as personalized direct mail campaigns and even cost-effective football trading cards.

Photographic paper : With so much attention currently being directed at the progress of digital media, it is easy to assume that not much is happening on the traditional photographic paper front. Traditional may be the term used to describe silver halide photographic paper, but that should not infer lack of development - at least, not as far as black-and-white paper manufactured by Ilford Photo is concerned. For many years, Ilford Photo has offered a full range of silver halide black-and-white papers on both fibre and RC bases. These include graded and variable contrast papers available in cool, neutral or warm tone varieties with a choice of surfaces, all in a wide range of sheet and roll sizes to suit every need.
