Author Topic: Film Guard and Blotches??? Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 04-10-2008 09:51 AM                     What does Rejuvenation mean? Rejuvenation is a scratch removal process where a chemical is baked into the base of the film stock to fill in non-emultion scratches. This is frequently done to old prints that are re-issued or for American prints that are sent overseas in a later release. It save the studio money, as it is a lot cheaper than striking new prints.  |  IP: Logged John Koutsoumis Master Film Handler Posts: 261 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Aug 2003 posted 04-10-2008 03:18 PM                     I received a print of the film "Bella" that had been through a Rejuvenation process. It still had visible base side scratches.  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 04-10-2008 08:01 PM                     It actually means different things to different people. Sometimes it is just washing the print in a solvent and redrying it, sometimes it can include buffing and coating, and other processes. --jhawk  |  IP: Logged
