Abstract: Contrary to expectations, it was found that there was not a significant difference in the preferred color balance of prints selected from a large range of color balances viewed in a darkened room with tungsten (3600-K) projection or in a TV preview room (5400-K with lighted surround). All prints ranked good or excellent in the TV preview room were given a similar ranking in the theatrical projection room. The converse was not true — some prints accepted under the less critical darkened-room viewing were not acceptable under TV preview conditions. The same print density, also, is preferred under both viewing conditions. The conclusion is drawn that only one print balance, that selected under the more rigorous TV preview-room conditions, is needed for both theatrical and TV use.
