- Abstract
- Surface grain and abrasion defects emphasized in optical printing from single-strip color negative for wide-screen presentation were formerly minimized by means of lacquer coatings and diffuse printer optics. This method resulted in lacquer dirt and loss of definition. Technicolor matrices of greatly improved quality are now printed from “wet” negatives, i.e., the negatives are run through a perchlorethylene bath, doctored by means of air and/or vacuum squeegees, printed, then dried by air jets before being taken up.
