I bought a Workprinter and out of the box it tramlined one very precious 8mm movie. On close examination there was 'sharp' points on the entrance to the film gate and on the plastic pulley's, The amount of 'swarf ' found thru the unit's film channel did'nt help.Despite a major sand down of all sharp point's and a serious clean down the projector continued to scratch film,and the software was very 'touchy' I replaced it with a Tobin unit which at least dos'ent scratch film's. Its a good unit..

Between WorkPrinter-XP and TSC Dual-8 Telecine Equipment, which do you think is the best for 8mm and Super 8 transfer to Video?. Waiting for you answer.

holy sheet... porn movie song!!!!
Very common and we experienced that with the chassis that is used on moviestuff equipment. Again, you are buying old used 50 year old projectors that are bolted to wood. Not only are they susceptible to scratches but also the bunching up of film inside the cover which can turn your film into an accordion and once that's happened your film is rendered useless. Tobins are okay, but they again have major issues with the drive train and need to be modified heavily along with camera changes. Email us

@ffillipoo,re: TSC, support is poor, mechanisms are prone to jumping and unless you are die hard at tinkering with microscopic parts and putting everything back together only to find the problem arises 2mins later, steer clear. We use TCS, but I have staff that fix them in house, very intricate mechanisms and honestly, if you are transferring your home movies, let us do it, spend $10k on equip or $200 for us to do it. If you're a biz, call us and we'll discuss wholesale rates!

@ffillipoo, none of them are really any good. Workprinters are basically a slab of wood with a projector bolted on top and a box and mirror, you spend $1500 and you honestly think you've been robbed of $1450! I personally can not stand the ansco projectors they are build on, they kill film that isn't 100% perfectly prepped. Reliant on hardware and software, take up reel is driven by a rubber band. Quality wasn't great, it was just constant headache and fixing.

Issues are related to Tobin. Issues on moviestuff, there are too many to list. This whole film transfer equipment market is plagued with issues. Even $95,000 Flashscan units are just unbearable to work with. Slow, too many features. You've either got over priced garage sale component units or over priced, over engineered German or Swedish units with ridiculous, tedious work flow. We've had to re-engineer Tobin's to work without fixing every 2hrs It's crazy. Stay tuned, we are 6mths out.

We do not develop film.

Extremely minimal risk. We have not had a lost package from any carrier in 8 years of business. We keep a back up of your films for a year, so it's a one way 'risk'. One thing to note as well, you may think you are dropping your films off to a local photographic shop or guy working out of his house, but as you drive away, they are handing them to the UPS driver out the back door, and they will tell you straight faced they don't do that. Everyone outsources.
