Sound Track on Eastman Color Print Film

The photographic image in the sound-track area of Eastman Color Print Film, Type 5381, is composed of metallic silver plus dye. The normal sensitometric specifications for sound negatives used in release printing on black-and-white materials are also suitable for negatives to be printed on Type 5381. The sound track should be printed by light which has been filtered in such a manner that the dye component of the developed image will be neutral. In general, the sound quality of neutral prints on Type 5381 is comparable with that of prints on Eastman Fine Grain Release Positive Film, Type 5302, but the latter has superior response at the higher frequencies.
