Thanks, Jen - so far I've only only loaded up on roll of bulk film

spooled out the test rolls, and then unloaded the bulk roll. The film
tested out fine
I want to minimize the wasted film in the header and (int he case of
bulk loading) the tail - since that is a constant the more film in the
canister means a greater ratio fo used film to wasted film... BUT - I
have had a couple of longer rolls and spooling them onto standard
