STEP-CONTACT PRINTER 385 moves from one hole to the next while the film is being moved from one frame to the next at the point where a change in printing illumination is desired. The change occurs during the time when the shutter is closed between frames; there is no change in lamp output in the interim. Fig. 96. Schematic of light path in DeBrie step contact printer. The light change strip shown in Figure 104 may be used to transport a filter holder with special filters for color correction of individual scenes when the machine is used for color printing.
