Film That Must Be Repaired Before Use

Film with the defects listed below must be repaired before it can be scanned in the SA-21. It can be scanned without preparation using the FH-3 film holder with the MA-20 (S) slide-mount adapter ( 105).

Problem Solution

There is tape on the ends of the film.

Remove the tape or trim the ends of the film with scissors. After removing tape, wipe off all traces of adhesive with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to damage the film.

Film is cut on an angle or torn.

Trim the end of film straight across, being careful not to cut across the perforations.

The final perforation has been cut or torn.

Trim the film straight across, being careful not to cut across the remaining perforations. If the film can not be trimmed without cutting across the im- age in the frame, trim only the outer edge from the perforation as shown above at left.

Before scanning, remove dirt and dust from the film and perforations with a blower and wipe off fingerprints with a dry, soft cloth, being careful not to scratch the film.
