Author Topic: 8-perf splicing tape Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 10-15-2003 08:59 PM                     Occasionally I will see a trailer attatched to a print with 8-perf tape so that the edge of the tape is on the frame line. How awesome is this!? Anyone know if this type of tape is available and if there are any splicers that use it?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-15-2003 09:02 PM                     The mighty CIR splicers are available to use the 8 perf tape and it is the standard in most film labs  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-15-2003 10:52 PM                     I've been begging Neumade to make an 8 perf version of their splicer for some time now. Do a search and you can see some past discussions. The biggest complaint I hear is the force drop out of SRD, which I don't buy for a minute because I've done the test with opaque tape and two pieces of clear tape laid side by side. An 8 perf Neumade (or Splycemar) splicer would be wonderful!  |  IP: Logged Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 10-15-2003 11:21 PM                     Splycemar?? Where can one purchase the 8-perf CIR and some 8-perf tape? CPI is the only one I know that has CIR, and they don't have any info on their site. Does CIR even have a site?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-15-2003 11:22 PM                     any post production supply house would have them  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

I take a pic to see if it what you are thinking about. thanks Kyle  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 10-16-2003 12:45 AM                  I'm confused here... are yous talking a 35mm 8-perf splicer or a 70mm 8-perf splicer? There seems to be a confusion of the terms here. Also, I thought it was a Splycemaartini splicer?? >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Kyle Watkins Expert Film Handler Posts: 185 From: Stuart, FL, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 10-16-2003 01:02 AM                     yea im confused my self. 8 perf 35mm or 70mm. What advantage would there be in a 8 perf ( if we are talking about 35mm) over a regular splicer.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Having the splicing tape cover 8 perfs on 35mm allows for both edges of the splicing tape to fall on frame lines.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 10-16-2003 01:49 AM                  Thanks Grand-Poo-BAH Jr. for clearing that up... >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.
