Author Topic: Double Attached Trailers Aaron Wesener Film Handler Posts: 14 From: Burt, MI, USA Registered: Nov 2003 posted 03-14-2004 12:04 AM                     When our print of Hidalgo was ran for the first time one of our guys noticed that there were two Home on the Range trailers back to back. Of course since I was the one blaimed I decided to look into it. Upon further inspection I found that the splice attaching the two was not one of ours. So the lab attached two of treh same trailers. Has this happened to anyone else?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-14-2004 12:14 PM                     If the trailor was spliced on it was probably done at the exchange not te lab as most labs would have just printed the trailor right on to the reel not attach it later  |  IP: Logged Steve Scott Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1300 From: Minneapolis, MN Registered: Sep 2000 posted 03-15-2004 08:37 AM                     I received two used prints of hidalgo, did your reels have "INTEGRITY CHECKED" printed on the white paper bands?  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 03-15-2004 09:11 AM                        As mentioned, labs usually print any attached trailer as part of the printing negative for reel 1, so there normally would not be a splice in the print. Labs can add trailers in "positive assembly" after processing, but usually this would be done at the exchange or a separate fulfillment company, who usually have a lower price structure than a lab.  |  IP: Logged
