A High-Speed Continuous 16mm to 8mm Reduction Printer

Optimum quality 8mm release prints usually are obtained by direct reduction from 16mm negative. Most 8mm reduction printers are the step type, operating at relatively show speeds. This paper describes a continuous 8mm optical printer running at 250 ft/min. Quality advantages of reduction printing are combined with production advantages of continuous printing. Sprockets on a common driveshaft and a U-shaped optical system are used.
