Fujifilm pulling the plug on black-and-white film and paper

Fujifilm Imaging Systems Co. Ltd. officially posted on its website plans to discontinued monochrome film and paper, with the end of the Acros line being its Neopan 100 Acros film in October 2018. According to the Google Translate version of the announcement:

Thank you very much for your patronage of FUJIFILM products from everyday. Fujifilm Imaging Systems Co., Ltd. (President: Toru Nishimura) has worked hard to absorb costs such as improving production efficiency and cost savings for black-and-white film and black-and-white photographic paper that have been used for many years. However, as the supply decreased due to the decrease, sales will be terminated. Although it is truly selfish, thank you for your kind understanding on your circumstances. We look forward to your continued patronage of FUJIFILM products in the future.

Fujifilm’s black-and-white photo papers will be discontinued between October 2018 and October 2019.  A complete list of discontinued products are listed here.
