I sold a print of "Hobson's Choice" but has since been returned for having a sideways weave, I've come accross this before, and in most instances the stock is a little too wide, and on some machines like Elmo's where the gate isn't very generous, it can be quite annoying. My question is, is there anyone out there with an equaliser, these were sold to trim the edges of the film to precisely 8mm, they are used between rewind arms, if so could someone have a go at this print for me. If not local I'll pay all postage costs, because at the moment I have a decent feature, and on a lot of machines it will have this weave. If anyone can help then contact me at indi8films@aol.com .
Thanks,
Barry.

Dear Kev,
Yes it makes sense, but I've an idea this print was produced using the quad system (like the optical prints), where 4 prints are made side by side on 35mm stock, and I have seen this before on quad prints (especially from Techno films in Italy) where there is some weaving on some of the prints, anyway I'll give it a go, as the collector I sold it to did use some cleaning fluid on 3 of the reels with little difference. I'm going to practice 1st though with some silent film I've got, and when I'm confident I'll give "Hobson's Choice" a go, it may not improve it, it may even be printed in, but I'll find out later on.
