Just answered my own question

I’ve just read in the online Boston Globe that Polaroid is shutting down all its film plants and that it will produce no more instant film – professional or consumer. This is a sad day indeed

Polaroid film going…

Just checked on the Polaroid online shop for the current price of Type 59 film for 5×4 colour transfers only to find the film has disappeared - only Type 79 is currently listed as a UK available product while the US shop lists NO colour 5×4 materials at all. Is that then end of Polaroid transfers in 5×4? Why was death so quick and why so silent?
