Experience with Processing Color Reversal Intermediate Film 5249

Paul L. Deer, John H. Donlon

In March 1968, a new color reversal internegative stock was introduced by Eastman Kodak Co. to the industry. Technicolor was the first laboratory to install the CRI-1 process. Since this installation, several million feet of 5249 and 7249 have been printed and processed, with steadily improving success. Some of the advantages of the system are given with direct comparisons with existing systems. Wet-gate reduction printing of 7249 reversal internegatives and its effect on television commercials, the quality of 5249 as a protection negative and the use of 5249 as cut negative for release printing are discussed.
