Colourblind film types used are Process and Commercial. Process films bear trade names of Kodalith and Reprolith. They are very contrasty and are used to copy black-and-white line originals. Process films are also termed short scale films because they can reproduce a maximum of only 5 different tones. 1, record 1, English, - short%20scale%20film
