Author Topic: A Time in Mexico... anyone else have prints with beige colored splotches? Kevin Wale Expert Film Handler Posts: 167 From: Guymon, OK USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 09-11-2003 10:22 PM                     I was just in checking a splice and I noticed all these beige colored splotches all over the screen. It also had a few black specks. Do we just have a not so good print or did they do that on purpose to make the film feel more gritty?  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 09-11-2003 10:31 PM                        One of the new anti-piracy watermarking codes?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-12-2003 12:34 AM                     Probably CAP code or something similar. Mine was plagued with terrible markings just like everyone has been complaining about lately.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 09-12-2003 04:52 AM                     The print I screened was excellent, nothing wrong at all.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-12-2003 08:26 AM                     Hmmmmmm so Chris, have you read the thread CAP code secrets revealed yet? Warning, once you know what an anti-piracy marking is, you won't be able to NOT see them.  |  IP: Logged
