Abstract: This paper describes a method of using 35/32 films for the production of 16mm prints which has been successfully used by the General Film Laboratories. The advantages of this particular procedure are that it permits use of 35mm professional equipment, is economical and generally produces good quality 16mm product. The technique of using 35/32mm films in the various processing steps is presented, including the requirement of special printing machines. Assembly, cleaning and developing are accomplished on normal 35mm equipment, and inspection is done on 35/32mm projectors designed for the purpose. The 35/32mm prints are slit for 16mm for final inspection and assembly. A high degree of quality control is necessary in using 35/32mm films, particularly in slitting, for which a new precision slitter is used. Increased use of the 35/32mm method is predicted.
