[Frameworks] Dirty Duplicate of spliced 16mm Color Neg

[John Woods]

Niagara Custom Lab in Toronto will print negs with tape splices.

You could try using Ektachrome 100D to duplicate your film on an optical printer.  Or you could use your workprint to compile an EDL and do a neg cut (either or yourself or hire a pro).

Scott, 

Thanks for getting back to me. If you or anyone else could clarify things, that would be wonderful!

I have a work print, which is an interpositive print of the color negative film.  The work print was edited by hand and spliced to create a final film. Now, I want to make a duplicate copy of this edited interpositive workprint because I will be projecting it for a week in a gallery 
and would like a back-up to play it safe. 

So, I think, by what you are saying (and by what ColorLab has told me) the only way to do this is quite expensive and requires me to pay for both an new internegative that will then make a new interpositive. 

Is this the only solution in 2012?

Thank you for your help, 

Sincerely, 
Meg

You've got a negative and you want a duplicate negative made?  Or you
have a negative and you want a print made?

Any lab should be able to do either, BUT the bad news is that there is
no more CRI stock and no more reversal print stock, so in order to get
a dupe negative you have to get an interpositive made and then the 
interneg struck from that, at twice the cost and loss of resolution.
