Laboratory Slitting of Multi-Row Processed Film

Over the years many inquiries have come from motion-picture laboratories about slitting processed motion-picture film. There are four common inquiries that involve the areas of width control, rough edges, dirt, and a relatively new one, products on polyester support as opposed to products on the more traditional triacetate support. Slitting processed film on either triacetate or polyester support to obtain good width control, relative freedom from dirt, and smooth edges should not be too difficult. Commercial equipment is available which can do a satisfactory job for the motion-picture laboratory. However, these slitters require periodic maintenance, particularly in the cutting area itself.
