Will a 35mm film camera’s date/time stamp work on remjet motion picture film?

I’m using a 35mm film camera with a quartz date/time stamp back and want to shoot motion picture film that has a remjet backing (for example, Kodak Vision3). Since remjet is a carbon anti-halation layer on the back of the film, will the camera’s timestamp still imprint onto the film, or does the remjet prevent it from showing up?

I have tested on Vision3 500T and the timestamp is working. So there is no difference between remjet and normal film.

Yes—based on user testing, a 35mm camera’s quartz date/time stamp can still imprint on remjet-backed motion picture film such as Vision3 500T. In practice, the remjet backing does not appear to prevent the timestamp from recording, so it behaves much like regular film in this respect.
As with any date-back system, visibility can still depend on the camera’s imprint method and the film being processed correctly, but remjet itself is not a blocker.
