The IB Technicolor prints can only be used for a color reference and not a source scan.

They are scannable now, with modern equipment.

If you have something higher up the duplication chain than a projection print, use that instead. Technicolor prints are very good quality projection prints, and I think are actually one generation higher than your typical 35mm projection print, but they are still projection prints. Lots of detail from the negatives has been lost. On the other hand, Technicolor prints retain their color better than most anything else (assuming they got the right color to begin with, which was a bit of an issue with Technicolor in its earlier days, but not really with Star Wars), so for a color reference, you could do a lot worse. So I agree wholeheartedly with Fang Zei, if you replace "can" with "should".
