Tom Bolles – CinePrint16 V1 | True Analog Film Emulation PowerGrade for DaVinci Resolve

Bring genuine analog motion-picture character into your grading pipeline with CinePrint16 V1, a professional PowerGrade system developed by Tom Bolles exclusively for DaVinci Resolve. Designed to emulate the tonal behavior, density, and texture of real 8mm, 16mm, and 35mm film, CinePrint16 delivers authentic film aesthetics without LUT limitations.

A Real Film Pipeline — Not a Look Preset

CinePrint16 is built as a node-based film emulation workflow, accurately recreating the interaction between Cineon negatives, Kodak & Fuji print film response, and optional vintage 1960s-era film characteristics. The result is a flexible, modular grading system that behaves like real photochemical film—not a baked-in filter.

What’s Included

• CinePrint16 PowerGrade V1 & V2 for DaVinci Resolve
• Film Border PNGs for authentic frame and gate overlays
• Comprehensive User Guide (PDF) covering setup and workflow

Film Emulation Capabilities

• Accurate 8mm, 16mm, and 35mm motion-picture film response
• Cineon negative emulation for true log-to-print behavior
• Kodak & Fuji print film curves with realistic contrast density
• Optional 1960s vintage film look for nostalgic projects
• Preserved high dynamic range for creative grading freedom
• Fully customizable node tree — adjust or disable any stage

Designed for Professional Color Work

Unlike LUT-based solutions, CinePrint16 operates entirely within Resolve’s color engine. This allows colorists to fine-tune halation, contrast, saturation, print density, and tonal roll-off—just like working with real film prints—while maintaining modern digital control.

Ideal For

• Filmmakers pursuing authentic analog film aesthetics
• Colorists grading narrative films, commercials, or music videos
• Creators exploring nostalgic or archival visual styles
• DaVinci Resolve users wanting true Kodak & Fuji film behavior

Software & Format Compatibility

• DaVinci Resolve (Free & Studio)
• macOS, Windows, and Linux
• Works with Blackmagic RAW, ProRes, RED, ARRI, and LOG footage

Why CinePrint16 Stands Out

• ✔ True photochemical-inspired workflow — not LUT shortcuts
• ✔ Faithful film contrast, density, and tonal separation
• ✔ Modular PowerGrade design for professional customization
• ✔ Trusted by filmmakers seeking real analog depth

CinePrint16 V1 bridges decades of film history with modern digital precision—giving your footage the warmth, texture, and character of true cinema film inside DaVinci Resolve.
