Striping 64T

Post by **tim** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 10:34 pm

The guys at Smallformat Magazine are claiming that 64T cannot be laminate striped, and that Kodak can't explain why there is a problem.

This seems odd, since 64T is acetate based and can be cement spliced.

Before I waste time and money trying this for mayself, does anyone have any other input?

HI,

just do a search on this forum: the e64t is "harder" to stripe than the kodachrome, but it's not impossible to stripe.

I have partlly successfully striped 2 little films shot on 64T(30 meters and 40 meters : Main track only).

But it wasn 't easy at all !

I had to clean the film three times with "Filmreineger" sold by Wittner.

I have projected this films 4 or 5 times since they have been striped .

They run well with good sound , but it appears that the track is still enough strongly spliced in one or two single points that I will repair.

I think that this stock is more "lubricated" than K40 or Plus-X , and then have to be "dry" a lot before striping ....
