A Means of Preventing the Formation of Newton's Rings during Contact Printing of Motion-Picture Film

Charles E. Osborne

Certain film structure and processing conditions may result in smooth-surfaced processed negatives and intermediate films which cause Newton's rings when contact printed to smooth-surfaced print films. An application of a fine, evenly dispersed spray of a commercially available printers' nonoffset solution to such a film, before printing, effectively prevents these printing defects. The equipment and method of application are described.
