Author Topic: eastman/fuji film Dave Ganoe Expert Film Handler Posts: 119 From: Point Marion, PA Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-02-2001 02:29 PM                     Something strange the other day. I was rolling up a coming attractions tag and it says both eastman and fuji on it. The color is really good on it even though it is old. How can eastman and fuji both be on the same piece of film along the edges?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-02-2001 02:41 PM                     Simple the negative was one brand and the print stock was the other. THe printer light often includes the outer edges  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 05-02-2001 03:43 PM                        The ID on current print films is colored magenta on both Kodak and Fuji print stocks. Kodak now has a very complete ID number to track the exact film batch and equipment it was made on. The print-through from the negative will be light letters against a darker background, and vary in color depending upon how it was printed. Kodak camera films have "KeyKode" to aid film editing and cutting: Information About Kodak KeyKode Numbers Illustration of Kodak KeyKode Numbers ------------------ John P.
