There was, back when super-8 labs offered printing from A&B rolls. I'm
not sure if there are labs that do that anymore (anyone?)
If not that, then the optical printer is your answer, which will take
out those extra few frames you're talking about while printing onto
film. (Bill Brand, are you there?)
But also, the old Bolex 8mm cement splicer made splices less visible
than your messy tape splices, depending on your taste in what "visible"
means. But actually, there are tape splicers that will make super-8
splices much less visible than yours. You want one that covers both
frame being spliced together with tape up to the frame lines. The
splices will still be visible, and more so as they age and a white bar
may start to appear between frames, but believe me, they will be far
less visible than yours. Ciro made one such model.
