页面尺寸大、打印质量差，有时不宜在16毫米胶卷上使用高缩印率对报纸进行缩微拍摄。然而，由于剪报通常比整版报纸小，因此可以在图书馆和文献中心的较低剪报位置拍摄，以限制不同系统的增长。

Large page size and poor print quality makes the use of high reduction ratios for microfilming newspapers on 16 mm roll film inadvisable at times. Since, however, press cuttings are usually smaller than full-page newspapers, they can be filmed at a lower cuttings held in libraries and documentation centres, witrh a view to limiting the growth of diverse systems.
