THE NEWS IN PRINT

Inkjet printers are gaining momentum for printing things other than on paper. Last week I had written about circuit boards which could be wired using an inkjet printer. But, this week I have a new function for our faithful inkjet printer. Jesse England has used an Epson inkjet printer to print Super 8 and 16mm films on a transparency.

The arduous task included creating a template for printing on a Super 8/16mm transparency by converting it into a film strip format in Adobe Premier. Once everything was printed, Jesse manually cut the sprocket holes using a box cutter. With some other adjustments, he was able to succeed in printing films on a transparency. Although the quality was poor, it still is a start for what could be a defining moment in our filmy future. Kudos to this lad!
