Bob - re:silver in photography.
The mainstream copy system for digital photography still is the chemical process.
Most users have colour printers, but usually not the proper paper to print on, or dirty printing heads. So most stills still are printed on chemicals (even when you send your file electronically to the lab).
The other consumer, medical imagery, still prints on silver films (even if the data are stored electronically for further consultation and.... re-prints: you don't need to file the films and can throw them away, but there are chances you will request a re-print).
Same old as the "paperless office".

Less demand in photography is, IMHO, due to digital photography. For another reason: only good pictures are printed, whereas the chemical habit was to print every still twice, whatever the quality.

My 2 cents.
