The Cosharp Printer — Design Concept
This article gives a conceptual progress report on the development of the Cosharp Printer, proposed to the Technology Foundation of the Motion Picture/Television Industry by Richard Edlund of Boss Film. The name is an acronym descriptive of the product: Continuous Optical Slit High-speed Anamorphic Reduction Printer. It is universally accepted that 65mm original photography produces an image about three times the resolution of the same one originated in a 35mm print. However, for practical reasons it is necessary to make 35mm reduction prints for post-production purposes. The cost of this step is prohibitive; the quality of the resulting prints and the time taken to produce them mitigate against the process. This printer offers technical and economic resolution of these problems.
