Dye transfer apparatus and method for processing color motion picture film

一种通过染料转印生产专业电影胶片拷贝的系统，包括辊槽、销钉带和转印箱。一个染料吸收母片和一个空白胶片通过辊槽中的辊子以预定的对准位置叠加在一起，产生一个将导入销钉带上的两胶片夹层。销钉带包括多个在轨道中运行的销钉，其可分离地与两胶片夹层啮合，由此沿轨道的一部分运行两胶片夹层。转印箱包括多个彼此成预定关系的较大直径的辊子，以及用于调整预定关系的提升机构。辊子限定直线的胶片路径，两胶片夹层由销钉带沿该路径导入。胶片路径的长度足够长以使完整的染料转印高驱动速度地发生在转印箱中。然后剥去两胶片夹层。空白胶片可通过三个染料转印系统在连续路径上运行，由每个系统施加单独一种颜色的染料以生产一个三色最终拷贝。 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.
