Platters were commonly used for [[35mm]] projection in late 20th century multi-screen booths. However, their use is no longer recommended, and is not permitted by most lending film archives nor by the repertory divisions of many studios and distributors. | '''Platters''' were commonly used for [[35mm]] projection in late 20th century multi-screen booths.

Building prints on 6000 ft. reels is also sometimes referred to as "plattering" in reel-to-reel [[changeover]] booths. Because it requires the removal of the head and tail [[leader]] and excessive handling of the first and last few frames of each reel as they're [[splicing|spliced]] and unspliced, this kind of "plattering" is also no longer considered good film handling practice. | |||
