The following conditions apply when borrowing archival prints:

Head and tail leaders must not be cut off from any reel, and each reel must be returned heads out with base side facing the core, securely fastened with tape. We have the right to charge the borrower for replacement costs should any damage be detected upon the print’s return. The print must be screened in the correct aspect ratio and at the correct projection speed.
