ST 48:1995 - SMPTE Standard - For Motion-Picture Film (16-mm) — Picture and Sound Contact Printing — Printed Areas

This standard specifies the location and size of the printed picture and photographic sound track areas for both negative/positive and reversal contact printing operations. An opaque line should appear between picture and sound in the finished print. The dimensions given for picture-printed area and for the two widths of sound-printed area provide for an overlap of picture- and soundprinted areas, or for a gap between them. The specific aperture to be used for printing sound will be chosen to provide the desired black line, as dictated by the printing materials and processing conditions in use.
