PICTURE PRINTERS: CONTINUOUS CONTACT PBINTEB 381 Fig. 93. Depue double head continuous contact combination 16-mm printer. This machine can print one combination print from separate picture and sound pre-print films. This is accomplished by providing two printing heads, one for the picture and one for the sound. Printing speed is in the range from 60 to 110 ft. per min., the lower speed being required for films requiring high exposure levels. The picture printing lamp is rated at 100 watts (projection type used at line voltage), and the sound printing lamp is rated at 115 volts, 25 watts (tubular type). A separate 25-watt lamp with its rheostat is provided for printing edge numbers. All hubs designed to hold a maximum of 1200 ft. For printing Kodachrome, the color temperature of the 100-watt lamp is ordinarily too low ; provision is made for substituting a 10-volt 7.5-ampere exciter lamp for picture printing. Like most conventional printers, this machine runs in one direction only.
