Author Topic: Static Problems Chris Dugan Film Handler Posts: 18 From: Goodyear, AZ Registered: Jul 2006 posted 12-17-2006 12:01 PM                        Yeah...it's that great time of year when we all start having static problems on our prints. Or maybe it's just me. I've tried everything. Humidifiers, Film Lube, Dryer Sheets. It helps, but it's a constant battle when it comes to it. And trying to run 14 theatres and deal with static problems can be a pain in the butt. Any other suggestions that might help me out?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-17-2006 01:46 PM                     What make and model of platter is involved some with painted decks are a pain to deal with and static  |  IP: Logged Chris Dugan Film Handler Posts: 18 From: Goodyear, AZ Registered: Jul 2006 posted 12-17-2006 03:59 PM                        hmmm...
