Illuminating System and Light Control for 16-mm Continuous Optical Printer

William Bornemann, Wayne McKusick

A continuous optical printer for producing highly corrected release prints at rapid printing speeds from 16-mm color originals is being developed and tested by the Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, N.Y. All information on level and color balance of the printing light for each scene may be stored on the master film and the cuing device eliminates the necessity of notching the film. Also incorporated is a sprocket which automatically accommodates highly shrunk and damaged film inter-cut with fresh originals.
