The lab at the shop I work at had to switch from Agfa papers when we

The lab I go to has always been an Agfa shop. Not sure what they'll
be using in future. I sure hope they can still get support &
servicing for their two relatively new D-Labs. I would not want to
spend that kind of money on machines only to have the vendor go out
of business!
Come to think of it, you'd think Agfa could spin off a new company to
sell their high-volume digital printers and associated consumables.
I seriously doubt that home inkjet printers are going to entirely
supplant minilabs.

From what I've heard, Fuji will be making chemistry in compatible
containers, and another german company has bought Agfa's chemicals, and
will continue to support the D-Labs.
