CinePrint16 is a film emulation PowerGrade developed by Tom Bolles for DaVinci Resolve, designed to recreate the colors, textures, and visual characteristics of analog motion picture film on digital footage.

Unlike fixed creative LUTs, CinePrint16 uses a customizable node-based grading system, allowing filmmakers and colorists to control individual components of the film look, from contrast and color response to film grain and optical characteristics.
