Splicing:
nextScan understands that no film is perfect, and many times you may have to splice film or work to convert film that has been spliced. nextScan scanners are equipped to process spliced film. nextScan’s unique patented transport system within our scanners features anti-tension loops that prevent film from stretching and breaking, while the self-cleaning rolls carefully handle delicate and brittle film. Furthermore, these special features for film handling will help prevent the need for splicing!
