The print was booked through Swank who uses Technicolor for some of their 35MM stuff. It was represented to me to be the print from this summer's Cinemax shows. It is Print No. 00003 on the cans. It is designated as Film No. 4351 on the booking confirmation.

Well, we got our Temple of Doom print today, while inspecting it I noticed little words on the edges that said "Eastman Tech" I'm assuming this means its an IBtech print, and needless to say it look MARVELOUS, no color fade whatsoever and no scratches. We'll be playing it all week, stop by....

There's part of your problem... SWANK!

You'll get films from them that are Soooo chopped up and mangled it's not even funny. It's not even worth it to send them back for replacement. You'll get another print that's just as bad, if not worse!

New Yorker and Kit Parker aren't much better. Problem is these companies continually circuit their films or get them shipped from Technicolor. Nobody ever inspects them and the people who play them (mostly colleges and stuff) just don't know how to take care of film.

I used to open the cans and just shake my head.

We ran a 70mm print of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" at a Art House Cinema Southampton UK in 1995.

It was the first of the 70mm Saturday afternoon screenings, we had 140 for the first screening, and this was not beaten for quite some time.

We find that in the UK, that 70mm fans would travel far & wide to watch 70mm movies.

You assumed wrong. AFAIK there are NO IB prints in existence of this title.

'Eastman' and 'Tech' on the same line? A definite oxymoron if I ever saw one ...
