The printer color balance changes are usually done by "frame count cuing" today, where the printer is threaded up on a sync mark on the leader, and the cues are based on a frame count from a shaft encoder. Older printers sometimes used foil tabs or even notches along the edge of the negative, but in no case would the cues be visible in the image.For workprints, here are the accepted markings used by the film editor: http://www.acvl.org/chap3.htm ------------------ John P.
