Testimonials
We received the print on time last Friday and checked it in a cinema yesterday. This new print has no scratch! And as we asked, the colors are denser and we like that...we're glad to be able to screen the film in 35 mm
We just had the premiere of our print here in Toronto and it was a big hit. Thank you so much for getting it done for us on time. I hope we get to work together again soon.
The prints arrived safe and sound last Friday. They are superb in all ways and I could not be happier with them! Many thanks indeed and I will be back soon.' (Image to the right is not of product created for order - this is a quote from an individual; image is representative of what was ordered)

I want to thank both of you. The reel came out absolutely perfect and matches my current reels perfectly! Absolutely wonderful job. The quality is great and your guys support is top notch. I will be having you guys make my next splice batch as well shortly.
Just wanted to let you know that I've received the reprint and it looks great. Thank you so much!
The cartoon prints have just arrived safely! WOW! That is amazingly fast and what a wonderful Christmas present! I will run these at my Christmas shows. The prints are absolutely superb as always! Thank you so much for getting these printed for me so fast. I will get back to you in the New Year with another order.
Thank you everyone who make it a joy to work with CPC. Your work remains Outstanding with results in Transfers that not only astound but are glorious, indeed. We are so looking forward to these next projects.
Print received! Let me tell you that this one exceeded my expectations, even better than what I thought with the format I wanted, came out perfectly. I also love the metal can was shipped with. I didn't have a time yet to do a complete projection, but what I see is what I want. I will come back later with my next project. I was planning another 41 minute, but I will change for longer time.

FAQ’s
Can you print/process negative film?
No, our technology eliminates all stages involving expensive negative intermediates. No picture, sound or subtitle negatives are necessary and there is no need for colour matching. We print directly from a data source, straight onto positive film. Just supply us with your DCP, DPX, Pro-Res, or MPEG4. You can upload the content to our secure SFTP server or have it delivered to our premises. Please email cc@cpclondon.com for access details.
Can you print on 8mm, 16mm, 65mm/70mm?
No, we specialise in just 35mm film. For 8mm & 16mm services, we can refer you to our friends at on8mil.com for film scanning. We can then transfer your data to 35mm film.
What film stock do you print on?
We print on standard positive colour film stock, used by our major studio clients.
What are your turn-around times?
We can usually dispatch your prints up to 14 days after data has been received and checked successfully by our team, and payment received. Contact us if you require a faster turn-around.
Can you print Dolby surround-sound?
To enable us to strike a print with a Dolby Digital 5.1 track we need a Dolby printmaster. This is a file set in a proprietary Dolby format that is provided on a MOD disk or CF card, or delivered electronically. This file set is usually mastered in a Dolby certified studio and requires a Dolby consultant to be present during the re-recording session. A special device, which is called DMU (Dolby Mastering Unit), is used during this process.
Otherwise, if you can only provide 5.1 or 2.0 WAVs, we will print an analogue optical cyan track (Dolby SR). With this option, please note the following:
- The optical soundtrack is an analogue medium, so the useable dynamic range for it is around 40 dB; reference dialogue level is –20 dbFS.
- The maximum level that can be recorded without audible compression/distortion is at around –14…–12 dbFS (100% modulation).
- The noise floor is at around –50 dbFS, but it depends on the alignment of the projector reader and its quality.
- Dolby SR track usually carries two analogue channels (LtRt) encoded with Dolby SR. We convert 5.1 to LtRt and apply Dolby SR encoding in-house, but you can provide a pre-encoded track too.
Can you scan my film print?
We can scan prints back to digital to achieve the authentic 'film' look for your digital content. This is ideal for commercials, music videos, short films and more.
