PLEASE NOTE
RENTAL INFORMATION Our guarantee does not cover sprocket damage due to the incorrect threading of films.
Features and Star Trek episodes are available for rental. For additional informa
tion please inquire about conditions and fees.
!!I The beginning of a film must be trimmed before each projection of the film (as per pro
jector manufacturer's instructions). Failure to do this can cause sprocket damage, which
is NOT a defect and NOT covered by our guarantee.
2 . Keep your ftlms in boxes. This will help keep them dust free and protect the
ends from being folded or broken.
3. Tape down film ends. A small roll of masking tape, on hand, will prevent films
from unraveling on their reel.
4. If possible buy and use leader This will protect the ends of your film, where
I'
most damage is likely to happen Leader is very easily spliced on to the ends
of the film . Do not use scotch tape to make splices!!! Scotch tape can come
loose in your projector and ruin it, the film or both. For splicing use Film
Splicing Tape or Film Splicing Cement.
5. Store films in a cool, dry place Extreme temperatures and humidity are
bad for film.
6. Do not pull the end of the ftlm, after rewinding, to tighten the film on its
reel. This will cause black lines to appear.
This is in no way a complete guide to film care, but if you follow these simple
suggestions you will extend the life of your films and projector immeasurably.
