It will give them an edge over their competition"-Polaroid, whose instant color prints are thick like Kodak's current ones. in Silver Spring, said, "I think the Trimprint will be right nice. The thinner prints will take up less space in albums, wallets or shoe boxes and will cost less to mail, Kodak says.Įrnie Culman, vice president and general manager at Industrial Photographic Products Inc.
Kodak interposed a slightly adhesive layer between the bottom layers of the film, which form images, and the top ones, which receive them. The new film permits users to remove the thick backing soon after the print has developed. It will cost the same as the company's current instant-print film. Finally, the film type is printed on the magazine so that it could be visible through a window on the camera back.Īs for the thinner prints, Kodak will make its new Kodamatic Trimprint instant color film available beginning in September. It gives automatic finishing equipment data that Kodak says could enhance print quality.

Once the film has been processed, another bar code becomes visible, repeated every half-frame along the edge of the film. The code identifies the film type for automatic photofinishing equipment.Ī 12-hole pattern punched into the film leader repeats the information on the cartridge bar code and makes more data available than current eight-hole patterns. Manufacturers can build cameras with circuitry to read the codes and automatically set the film speed, give a warning when the photographer is at or near the end of the roll and, finally, permit a wider range of light conditions before warning that the picture may be over- or underexposed.Īlso on the film magazine are bars of various thicknesses resembling the universal product code found on most packaged goods sold at grocery stores. They indicate in code the film speed, number of exposures and exposure range. One resembles two rows of black or white squares. Two electronically readable codes are on the film spool or cartridge. Kodak was to begin shipping the new 35mm film, which carries the DX designation-this spring. The photographic products giant also has found a way to reduce by half the thickness of its instant camera prints. has added electronically readable codes to 35mm film to help cameras and photofinishing equipment improve picture quality.
