Quick Summary

Stripping film is a type of photographic film that has an emulsion layer on a transparent support. This allows all or parts of the emulsion to be easily removed as a continuous layer for transfer to another surface. This is distinct from a filmstrip, which is a strip of film with a sequence of images for projecting still pictures. While filmstrips are used for displaying images, stripping film is about the manipulation and transfer of the emulsion itself.12
