Truprint was a very popular mail-order film development service in the UK in the 1980s-90s — every roll sent in for development came back with a free roll for the next order. This practice created a generation of British photographers raised on this mystery film, whose exact origin (likely Ferrania) was never disclosed on the packaging.
