Author Topic: Kingdom won't lay down flat on platter Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 04-27-2007 12:08 PM                    look closely at the sprocket hole area on the soundtrack side. Do you see a slight crease in the film going across or near the sprocket hole area. Do you encounter the same problem if you run the soundtrack down.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 04-27-2007 03:43 PM                     Don't worry about it - as long as it pays out and rewinds okey (woo..ORC platters...), film will want to do what it wants to do and there is nothing can be done about it... I get those "crowning prints" from time to time (prob due to the excessive curl during development stages..blame the labs here !!), and I figured on such above on not trying to make it lay flat.  |  IP: Logged Dominic Espinosa Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1172 From: California, U.S.A.

It's undamaged and shows virtually no signs of wear save for some minimal scuffing that all prints seem to have. Any how, it's doing it on all houses. It runs through fine, it's just strange to me. That's all.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 04-28-2007 03:47 AM                     Not just a problem with platters; I've had the odd print that just won't take up straight on spools, had one just last week. The print was so determined to take up that way, on both projectors and rewind bench that it was actually forcing the flanges of the spools apart. Looked fine, but just couldn't get it to take up properly.  |  IP: Logged
