===Handling Non-Archival Prints===
Some film prints are not considered archival by the lender. Examples of these are studio prints (that are not part of the studio archive), some prints from private collectors or distributors. Because film prints are increasingly rare and no longer being produced by film laboratories in the large quantities they were before digital projection became the standard for [[Film print|exhibition]] it is generally considered [[Best Practices| best practice] to treat them the same way you would an archival print. However the lender may still allow the borrower to do things like platter, make permanent cue marks, or remove the heads and tails of a non-archival print.
