You could try getting some Clear 35mm spacing from PEC. Acetate might take
ink better than polyester.
It's quite pricey though and you could spend your whole life geting through
1000' They sell special animation 16mm I dont know why they don't seem to
have it in 35mm.

Jack Roe (who suppy cinemas) will probably sell you some mylar leader with
frame lines in a shorter length for less money.

We do some stuff like this out of our lab in Newcastle but not much and not
very scientifically so i'm not sure what help i'd be. I'm happy to have a
chat though if you need. send me an email off list.
Cheers
Mat
