I am currently selling a super 8 optical sound feature of "The Man Who Would be King", on 5X technicolor cartridges, and the fascinating thing is that when it was shipped to me, it was shipped in it's original, technicolor shipping box! This print clearly came directly from technicolor! There has been speculation for years as to whether technicolor did any super 8 prints themselves, but this print does have some color fade, so the question is, did technicolor merely get prints made from elsewhere, and then merely put them in they're own cartridges? Also, did technicolor themselves market, as a library, Hollywood features?

Hi!
Technicolor also sold Agfa films and some Japanese cameras under their brand name. They even produced some N8- and S8-projectors. So they might have actually struck your print in their labs - but without using the Technicolor process (=on „ordinary“ print stocks from Agfa/Kodak/Fuji/3M). I suspect that you will find some edge markings that will proof this.

There were no Technicolor Dye Imbibition prints made in Super 8. Technicolor as a company did get involved in both the printing of Super 8, especially in Europe, and also equipment and projection systems. The cartridge endless loop system and associated projectors being the most significant.
