- Abstract
- A printing method is described that gives high quality motion-picture prints from badly scratched negatives. Both the negative and print film are completely immersed at the printing aperture in a liquid having an index of refraction close to that of gelatin and acetate support. The process nearly completely eliminates the printing effect of scratches and other surface irregularities on the negative, and improves the definition of positive prints by providing a continuous optical medium through which the exposing light passes from the negative to the print film. A step contact liquid-immersion printer and a continuous contact liquid-immersion printer are described.
