Hi Kevin, thanks, have you bought some, does it have magnetic stripe on or something.
Looks great value.
Thanks, Best, Mark.

Hello Mark

I've not bought any myself as I have a large amount of Kodak leader here already - for the money it has to be worth a try & even if it has a mag stripe it will still be fine for optical sound projection leader / spacing.

Hi Mark,

I bought the same product but on 640mt (2100ft) blue coloured and there is no magnetic stripe on it.

The exact type I bought is ZONAL magnetic recording film, 16mm polyester, 16-083/2 blue.
Please note the film is very thin and sometimes, if used with automatic loading projectors like Bauer p7 or p8, you could have some problem in loading it.

Hope this helps.

Flavio

The product is completely clear, single perforated. I think it is described as "magnetic recording" as it is designed to be specifically intended to be used for striping or fullcoating as required.
(PS This is only a non-related aside...If my memory serves me right, there used to be a firm called Zonal Facilities who did magnetic striping etc.)
