*: An inspection form serves two main purposes. To provide a guide for the projectionist in order to properly screen the a film print (especially in places where the one inspecting is NOT the one projecting the film), and to act as a record of the condition of the print when as it was received (both for you and for whomever lent you the print). Many people choose to combine these two onto one form in order to minimize paperwork, but they can also be kept separate (allowing for more detail). At the very least, the following things should be included even if using only one sheet. | *: Having a good inspection form is becoming more and more important as prints become harder to obtain and increasingly priceless. An inspection form serves two main purposes and each are equally important.

*: So ideally two separate sheets should be made, or a neat combination of the two. Having a sheet that is overly complicated is just as bad as having one with too little information on it. For some examples of different inspection forms see the [[Inspection form]] page. | |||
