The Performance of Photographic Soundtracks on Eastman Color Print Film, Type 5385, with Special Reference to 8mm Usage

J. F. Finkle, J. G. Streiffert

Data are presented on soundtracks exposed in one, two and three layers of Eastman Color Print Film, Type 5385, and processed both with and without redevelopment of the silver. From these data, recommendations to the industry are formulated. Top-layer (magenta) dye tracks on this material prepared in a format which could be accommodated on 8mm film (0.020-in. scanned area) demonstrate that adequate sound quality for commercial purposes can be obtained.
