Glass Filters for Color Printing

Tricolor filters are used to print Eastman Color Negative Film, Type 5248 onto Eastman Panchromatic Separation Film, Type 5235, and for printing these separations onto Eastman Color Internegative Film, Type 5245 and onto Eastman Color Intermediate Film, Type 5253. Such filters are also used in additive printers for making prints onto Eastman Color Print Film, Type 5382. The gelatin filters used for this purpose can be replaced with glass filters with a great increase in stability and a gain in exposure. All the glass filters recommended are standard, stock Corning glass filters with one exception. A unique red-absorbing filter, used in the green filter combination, has been made on special order by the Corning Glass Works and will be supplied by the Eastman Kodak Company.
