Jamming Kodak Ektachrome 64T cartridges

Post by **vanderVelden** » Sun Aug 13, 2006 9:55 pm

Hi,

A few weeks ago I used for the first time my pressure plate in two 64T cartridges. To my big surprise the film started to jamm halfway the cartridge. When I took the presure plate out, the films ran nicely till the end. With the other cartridge I had exactly the same problem. I have never had this kind of problem when I used Kodachrome. My camera is a Canon 814XL-S.
Has anybody had the same experience with the pressure plate in the Ektachrome 64T ? I guess there is not much I can do about this ?
Thanks

George

If you didn't have problems with focus or image stability you shouldn't use any foreign bodies in your cartridges. That is still the best.

Hi vanderVelden,

have you used the original pressure plate from GK-Film? I heard that there are several bad reproductions from people who like to make fast money!

agree with AJ in the first place - my 1014 XL occationally jammed with k40 + plate as well and,
the new 64t appears to operate fine without the plate anyway, very stable - better than my recent new k40s - actually very good.

add: due to the extremely tight tolerances in the cam that is.
