Perhaps we should wait for Ilford to put out an .....Offical News Release. Maybe this will be enough for you: ?These insolvency appointments have arisen in order to restructure the Company?s traditional photography business and allow it to focus on its core profitable inkjet digital business based in Switzerland, which is unaffected by these insolvencies. Currently we are analysing the traditional photographic business with a view to assessing its potential for sale as a going concern. The business has key strengths through its technology, its reputation both with the general public, professional photographers and its major corporate customers.? ?Additionally the digital inkjet business will be marketed: it has very significant market share, technological strengths and potential for further rapid profitable growth.? This is from the latest Ilford news release and clearly states that the ink jet business will be sold, whilst the 'traditional' business is being assessed to see if it is marketable. I am afraid it looks like the end to me! Gerry Gerry Walden LRPS _www.gwpics.com_ (http://www.gwpics.com/) +44 (0)23 8046 3076
