Can KAMI be used on films that have touch ups?
Yes, Films that might have direct touch ups on them can also be wet mounted. In testing that has been performed touch ups were not dissolved. We recommend you perform the same tests we did. First select a non-critical piece of film and mount and scan it in KAMI Scanner Mounting Fluid under AZTEK AZ-42 Mylar overlay with KAMI tape sealing the edges. Then if you find any issues like the touch up marks are being effected. I then recommend you mount the film again with KAMI, but this time with the non-emulsion side down and no overlay, tape the film down with KAMI tape to seal the solution. Create a custom density calibration for your film characterization that will remove the film base from the capture. This will then still allow for the optical quality benefits and no newton rings, while your silver nitrate emulsion and touch up marks are kept away from the all solutions. By the way the best scanner to do this is an AZTEK Plateau or any scanner with the AZTEK Digital PhotoLab Software. T
