An Experimental Quality Control Program for Printing Archival Films
The Preservation Commission of the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) has a program for establishing standards for the duplication of archival film. Evaluation of quality in such film is difficult because the preprint is often marred by previous heavy use, shrinkage, and deterioration of the film base. Furthermore, subjective factors influence the overall assessment. The aim of this program is to develop a test film which makes it possible to quantify the various quality factors so that quality assessment may be more objective.
