Consequently dust gets on the film material and into the scanner. Hence the film holder should be cleaned frequently. The easiest way is simply brushing the film holder with an anti static brush, which not only frees it from dust but also from electric charge. Discharging is important because electric charge activates dust as is generally known (like on a TV screen). Kinetronics anti static brushes are available in different sizes. When working with film strips it can often happen that you accidentally touch the emulsion side of the film. The damage often is irreparable. You can avoid damages to the film material and comfortably insert film strips into the scanner or film holder by wearing fine cotton gloves. Anti-dust spray is used to clean film material - no matter if it's mounted slides or film strips - by removing dust and fluffs with a flimsy current of air without touching the film material at all. There is no better, more comfortable and more efficient way to clean your film material. For working with single negatives or positives we highly recommend using tweezers, because otherwise you run the risk of touching and damaging the film. | |||||||||||
