Response to Cutting film for archiving

Well, in our in-house lab here, we just use scissors, and a clean light table...gloves too. Years ago when I worked in a one-hour lab, we had some sort of Noritsu sleeving machine, if you could call it that. It had a sort of guillotine cutter on it for the negs., but that didn't guarantee a safe cut by any means. It was real easy to chop someone's neg in half if you weren't paying attention. My advice would be to just pay attention to what you're doing, and don't obsess about it too much. After you do it a few thousand times, you won't even think twice about it...good luck.
