There can be little-to-no denying that, aside from the sudden surprise resurgence in popularity of novelty digital photo printers over the past 12 months or so, many crisp, new technologies that were once at the fore of desirability have long since fallen by the wayside.

Each of these aforementioned innovations of their day have all been replaced by something slicker and more efficient - as is the eventual inevitable entropy of all tech. And such was the case with the high street-printed photograph.
