International Classification:

G03B 2732

US Classification:

355 77, 355 27, 355 97, 352 38

Abstract:

A method is provided for transferring dye from a dye imbibed matrix film to a receiver film for producing a dye transfer print of a motion picture print. A dye imbibed matrix film and a receiver film are superimposed together in precise registration on a seating apparatus, e. g. , a pin belt, to create a two-film sandwich. The two-film sandwich is stripped from the seating apparatus before completing dye transfer, and dye transfer from the matrix film to the receiver film is completed along a pinless, substantially rectilinear film path while maintaining the two-film sandwich in precise registration. For example, a transfer cabinet may be provided that includes a plurality of rollers having a predetermined relationship to one another and defining the substantially rectilinear film path, and the two-film sandwich may be directed along the film path to complete dye transfer.

International Classification:

G03D 3/13
B08B 7/00

US Classification:

134 6, 134122 R

Abstract:

A film cleaning system for removing debris from film is described. The film cleaning system includes at least one cleaning member. Associated with each cleaning member is an adhesive member. As the film begins its transport through the cleaning system and is brought into contact with the cleaning member the adhesive member is engaged with the cleaning member. The cleaning member removes debris from the film and the adhesive member prevents the cleaning member from being loaded with debris from the film providing a self-cleaning attribute as well as improving the quality and cleanliness of the film.

International Classification:

US Classification:

355 97

Abstract:

A system for producing prints of a professional motion picture film by dye transfer, including a roll tank, a pin belt, and a transfer cabinet. A dye imbibed matrix film and blank film are superimposed together in a predetermined registration by rollers in the roll tank, creating a two-film sandwich, which is directed onto the pin belt. The pin belt includes a plurality of pins traveling in an orbital path, which detachably engage the two-film sandwich, thereby directing the two-film sandwich along a portion of the orbital path. The transfer cabinet includes a plurality of relatively large diameter rollers in a predetermined relationship to one another, and an elevator mechanism for adjusting the predetermined relationship. The rollers define a substantially rectilinear film path along which the two-film sandwich from the pin belt is directed. The film path has a length sufficient to allow complete dye transfer to occur at high drive speeds within the transfer cabinet.

US Classification:

355 77

Abstract:

A method of transfering from dye from a dye imbibed matrix film and a receiver film for producing a dye transfer print of a motion picture print including the steps of seating a dye imbibed matrix film and a receiver film on a pin belt, driving the pin belt at a predetermined speed along an orbital path, engaging sprocket holes on the matrix and receiver films with precisely spaced pins on the pin belts, stripping the two-film sandwich from the pin belt prior to completion of dye transfer, completing dye transfer from the matrix film to the receiver film in a transfer cabinet and maintaining the two-film sandwich in precise registration during the step of completing dye transfer.
