Probably not. The only new prints being struck today (if any) are likely for the rental market. The lack of demand for prints in no way justifies the expense and potential monetary risk. New film equipment is no longer being manufactured (with the exception of theatrical units) and even rental companies like SWANK and MODERN SOUND PICTURES that still deal in limited 16mm are pretty much all digital media today. Your best bet is probably used prints up for auction or indiviual titles being sold by collectors posting on forums such as this.
