Abstract: The printed results of making 35mm blowup negatives from film shot in 16mm have improved dramatically over the past 25 years. This improvement can be attributed to numerous factors: improved lenses, cameras, 16mm film stocks and blowup negatives; new ways of eliminating the effects of scratches and abrasions on the original; use of new high-quality aspherical blowup lenses; more effective exposure-control techniques; and the super-16 format. Taking advantage of the first factors is still the responsibility of the filmmaker, but the others are effectively used in a new, fully automated, additive, blowup optical printer which is described. The advantage of the printer is that a complete feature dupe can be made in just a few days compared with the weeks to months necessary for nonautomated systems.
