Term Details
Term: Blow Down
Subcategory: Technical
Definition: Colorlab in Rockville, Maryland coined this term to refer to a reduction print that is created from super 16mm to regular 16mm.  It works as a substitute for pricier processes of blowing up super 16mm to 35mm.  One would assume that the term blow down is the opposite of the term blow up, but actually the term reduction print is used instead.
