How is it possible to recognize the type of film of an IT-8 target?
There are different film types and sizes of Lasersoft for the IT-8 Targets. While the size can be simply measured or estimated, the type of film is only recognizable by thorough observation of the target. On a Lasersoft IT-8 target in a framed KB slide (35-mm film), the type of film is readable on a vertical text line at the right edge of the target, for example as in the adjacent picture “Printed on Kodak Ektachrome Professional Film”. The text is hardly decipherable to the naked eye; but by observing the slides with a magnifier or after a high resolution scan, the vertical text is easy to read. In case of a non-transparent target of Lasersoft, the type of film at the right bottom are clearly readable, as you can see in the example of the second image the text “Printed on Kodak Professional Digital”. These images are out-zoomed cutouts of a scan of the respective IT-8 target.
