The Practical Side of Direct 16-mm Laboratory Work

Laboratory practice for direct 16-mm production differs somewhat from 35-mm methods. Thirty-five-mm laboratory practice is confined largely to negative-positive, and 35-mm color is done mostly by special service laboratories and not by the studio or release-print laboratories. — Direct 16-mm production calls for the reversal type of processing, the negative-positive method, and color developing. Some producers own laboratories for doing the first two, but color is processed by the manufacturer. However, independent laboratories are printing color. This paper describes how some of these processes are used in direct 16-mm production, especially when the methods differ from conventional 35-mm practices.
