SMPTE RP 48 – Lubrication of 16- and 8-mm Motion-Picture Prints (R2004)
This practice recognizes that surface treatment of 16- and 8-mm motion-picture prints to reduce the film surface friction coefficient is needed to promote good projection performance. The use of such treatment should result in increased steadiness, reduction of noise in the projector gate, and less tendency toward perforation damage during projection.
