Traditionally (in the vinyl era, at least) these were the very first copies of a recording to leave the studio, and were often only intended for the people directly involved in making the recording (such as the band, producer, engineer, et al ) or perhaps for record company executives to catch a preview of a work-in-progress Hence, their numbers are very few indeed, and they are highly sought-after by die-hard collectors, particularly when they contain rare alternate mixes of songs that were never released to the general public Of course, as the name would suggest, these discs are by definition pressed on acetate, not vinyl, and are thus easily recognizable, as an acetate will have a much different weight, texture, and thickness than a regular vinyl record, as well as a non-standard (sometimes handwritten) label
(1) The official name for the textile fiber produced from partially hydrolyzed cellulose acetate Formerly known as acetate rayon (2) A chemical compound (a salt of acetic acid)
a clear plastic that can be stamped on or used as a window for shaker cards If you want to emboss on it make sure it is Thermo Acetate (overhead projector sheets made for laser printers work well)
(1) a plastic synthesized from acetic acid which exhibits rigidity, dimensional stability, and ink receptivity; made from cellulose acetate or its derivitives such as the clear plastic covering placed over artwork; (2) a family of solvents, also known as esters
A plastic synthesized from cellulose dissolved in acetic acid which exhibits rigidity, dimensional stability, and ink receptivity Transparent or matte finish available
An Acetate sheet is a high quality, clear/transparent sheet of plastic Acetate sheets are commonly used as a layer in multi-layer artwork Acetate is also used for "overhead" transparency printing (Also referred to as Mylar and clear layout base )
A transparent sheet usually used to print slides or for overhead projector transparencies; can also be used under 3-D objects to protect a scanner bed from being scratched
A transparent film that is used for various reasons in tape backings; the primary characteristic is that of being more moisture resistant than cellophane
A high quality, transparent sheet of plastic commonly used as a layer in multi-layer artwork or composition Acetate is also used for overhead transparency printing
Acetate is a shiny artificial material, sometimes used for making clothes or records. C2H3O2^- ion, a salt, ester, or acylal derived from acetic acid. Acetates are important in the biochemical synthesis of fats from carbohydrates in plants and animals. Industrially, metal acetates are used in printing, vinyl acetate in plastic production, cellulose acetate in photographic films and textiles (one of the first synthetic fibres, often called simply acetate), and volatile organic esters as solvents
{i} salt or ester of acetic acid (Chemistry); fabric made of acetate fibers; sheet of clear plastic film; phonographic disk made of or coated with acetate; fire-resistant material used as the base for film
