[cctalk] Re: Is there a more modern replacement for paper tape punch/reader

Probably could use film stock. Issues are it’s not too flexable, might break after a read so it would be hard to handle, its hard, and would dull the punch pins quickly, and film is expensive. Before CTP, we shot pasted-up pages with a big camera, and used that developed film to make plates. The film was punched after developing, with just 3 holes. The punches got dull after about 3000 punches and had to be replaced and sent out for sharpening.
