Rocio Ortega Armijo Posted July 18, 2025 Posted July 18, 2025 Hello! At the film archive where I work, I operate the Cintel film scanner of Black Magic, and according to the manual and what I've read on forums, I understand that I should clean the PTRs after each scan. However, I think this takes up too much time waiting for them to dry each time, and I'm also worried that washing them so much could cause them to deteriorate more quickly. At FilmFabriek, another film scanner we use, I read that the PTRs can be cleaned after each roll with clear tape and washed with dish soap and water once a week. But I don't know if the same can be done with the Cintel PTRs. Has anyone had experience with this?
