Is the blast of air strong enough that I could use this to clean film negatives prior to printing?

Yes it can, however you'll need to squeeze the Rocket Air entirely to get a good solid blast. Because of its long nozzle you may run the risk of touching the negative. In addition, depending on the number of negatives I don't know how many blasts your hand can support prior to developing muscle contraction. The Rocket Air circumference is quite big.

I don't know what kind of force that requires, but it is about 1.5-2 times harder than I can physically blow.

This is about the strongest blast you can get from this method. I think it should be able to do the job.

Static on film negs may create a challenge - I don't use it for film so can't confirm either way - check other reviews as possible others may be using for this

I would sayy yes as long as the film only had loose dirt or household dust. As opposed to any sticky substance or other contaminent

This blower is more than powerful enough for dust cleaning of negative/ film. I have had much darkroom experience and if you need more than this blower is capable of putting out you will need to brush your negs. Stubborn particles are not easily moved by blowers, physical removal by way of contact is usually needed. Again, this blower will get any standard dust off easily.

I always used a 0000 brush, but the bulb should give you a blast of air strong enough. It's worth a try.

I have used this equipment for: ink cartridges, injectors, valves and much more. It is of very good quality. To clean steel silver or dark areas you'll be fine if you use appropriate detergent.

Yes... it works on all film emulsions, as well as most print (inkjet gets a little sketchy)- just be gentle (like you would with any photo cleaner) :)

Yes, just be sure to get the right filter. 3M makes lots of them, and you can get the right tables from them. I use the cartridge P100 for metal dusts.

Won't work well on a static ultraviolet trap. The cartridge works efficiently only if a fan is directed to blow across it. This 'downwind' flow will bring the bugs toward the trap!

Yes this product is fine for that. No additional equipment is required. So no air pressure needed.

No idea. I use this to do printmaking processes. Sorry. Never use it on my floors.

Not very well. Slides and film are mounted into templates and pushed through the machine, with only 1" wide area exposed for the light to pass through and provide the digital image. Printed pictures of various sizes can also be processed by placing them on a glass plate like a conventional scanner. However I don't think this would work using a negative.

Mark, I used it for slides and it worked well, It comes with a slider that you put your negatives in, you should be fine.

Yes it's plenty strong for that use. I use it mainly to deprime and to remove bullets. But it is a good press for light duty use

I wouldn't fear the pad scratching the film, but the dust it would pick up and carry certainly might. I don't have film, but I would not use a pad on the 35mm slides I do work with. I always just use compressed air (or a squeeze bulb).

It's safe to use in Blower mode when working on electronics. It adds no moisture like canned air does and does a terrific job. I never use it to vacuum electronics.

I don't quite see why you would need to clean the air soft gun...you have no carbon buildup /powder residues. If you have an obstruction, you could probably just use a straitened wire clothes hangar

I have only used this product with 35 mm slides. I doubt that it would work with negatives since the negatives are not mounted as slides are.
563947
Yes, it will. Focus very carefully, and don't let stray light hit the film from the sides. I cover the sides with black paper or tape.Shoot RAW and process at 16 bit. I scan BW negatives as positive color or Kodachrome slides, then reverse the negative to positive in Curves in Photoshop, and bring in the end points as needed. Works great.

I dont know sorry maybe yes its strong i use to suck air for ziploc storage bags only but i clean my sofa and was good

I used this product to remove years of grime from antique negatives and a few prints.It did remove some adhesive from a black and white print. Could you try it in aninconspicuous area first? You could also ask at a professional photographic store--nota big box photo department--that does specialty processing.
