| Section prints
are ordered to repair damaged release prints. Head
and tail sections are most common because these
segments sustain the most damage in projection and
handling. Section prints cost more per foot than
regular full roll prints since they require more
handling and time in printing. Do not order section
prints to the exact frame. Allow extra footage for
handling. Section printing
subjects the negative to greater risks than normal
printing. If a large number of release prints
are in distribution, to save money and protect
your printing intermediate, a separate intermediate
and photographic sound negative of the head and
tail section should be manufactured to make replacement
prints for damaged head and tail sections. |
