Evaluation of the Steadiness of 16mm Prints

A satisfactorily bright and steady image of large size can be obtained from the projection of a 16mm print if good film, a good camera, a good printer and a good projector are used. — It has been shown by a trade survey that 16mm prints differ appreciably in steadiness. This was learned by viewing prints made in various laboratories from a 16mm reversal original, or from a 35mm negative made from the same scene. The steadiness of some prints approached the quality of the 16mm original, as was found by the examination of the prints made especially for this survey. It was also noticed that the photographic quality of the prints varied over a wide range, comparable to the observed variation in steadiness.
