Hi looking for 400/600 2 x 400 feet digests ( yes back onboard sort of )

Decided to keep it cheap and keen if you will.

So looking for any colour super 8 digest`s please that are faded on polyester stock and in mnty order ( if possible, though odd line etc Ok ) and original boxes would be nice. Basically cheap and cheerful.

Thanks Mark.

PS also like a few unfaded ones too of course !!!

I have a few titles that might interest you but,why strictly polyester?

Hi Panayotis I just have a thing about polyester prints.

If they are minty I can live with a little fade.

Thanks Mark.

Polyester is by far the better medium to print film on.
It runs so much better, smoother and quieter through any correctly set up machine and guaranteed no warping, no shrinkage, no breakages and no Vinegar Syndrome,..ever!! [Wink]

It has an added advantage also, that many of the low fade later prints were only ever printed on Polyester. [Wink]
