Pre-Production and Pre-Processing Hints
 
  • Store unexposed film per manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Avoid the use of outdated stock, or stock that has been improperly stored.
  • Film requiring special handling in processing, flashing, or for other reasons must be on separate rolls.
  • Provide your ACVL lab with a name and phone number to call if they have any questions about the work to be done.
  • If you must give verbal orders, confirm them in writing. Indicate that a written order is a confirmation of verbal orders.
  • Identify cans and boxes with customer name and contents
  • Give adequate shipping and delivery instructions.
  • Feel free to check with your lab on the progress of your work.
  • Check your dailies for proper edge numbers before cutting.

When in doubt, ask for information from your ACVL lab.
