Would anyone know of a supplier of 70mm racked black spacing leader (not countdown leaders), we are looking for about 500ft, so far most suppliers I have contacted can only supply 1000ft lengths or more.

Use the 1000' lengths and ultrasonicly weld them like most of the older Imax theatres do
Most 70mm print stock is in 1000' lengths only and that is usually all the printers can handle
contact 70mm Inc
213 252- 3689
They are in California David Keighley supervises all of Imax's own printing there
