Only clear tape should be used for archival projection. In the past, opaque tape and striped tape that covered the soundtrack area and/or the splice cut (also known as zebra tape) was used to mark reel changes for large-reel and platter projection. The edge of the tape will appear as a shadow on screen, so tape repairs should be applied so that the tape edge falls on a frame line when possible. | Only clear tape should be used for archival projection.

Ultrasonic splicers are used to fuse polyester film. This is most commonly done when preparing release prints for distribution. When properly made, ultrasonic splices are permanent, but they should always be tested before projection and replaced or reinforced with repair tape if they are too weak for projection. | Ultrasonic splicers are used to fuse polyester film.
