Technical Information Technical Information Note The information in this section relates to the characteristics of DryView Laser Imaging Film, not to the operation of the DryView 8100 Laser Imager. General Description DryView Laser Imaging Film is a high-resolution, infrared-sensitive, photothermographic film designed specifically for the new family of DryView Laser Imaging Systems.
DryView 8100 Laser Imager User Guide Image Quality DryView Laser Imaging Film delivers diagnostic-quality, continuous-tone images along with sharp alphanumerics and optimum contrast. This high-quality silver-based film provides radiologists with the same diagnostic information they are accustomed to viewing – including the spatial resolution, contrast, and gray levels. Plus, because it is a totally dry imaging process, there is no image quality variability due to “wet” chemistry.
Technical Information Less Impact on the Environment Disposal regulations and procedures for “wet” processing chemistry are time-consuming and expensive. And even with the most exacting procedures, the potential exists to discharge hazardous materials into the environment. Tests show that DryView Laser Imaging Film is not considered hazardous to the environment.
DryView 8100 Laser Imager User Guide Handling of Developed Film As with other photographic films or data storage materials, the handling of DryView Laser Imaging Film requires reasonable care. Spills, humidity, and other moisture typically have no significant effect on developed films. Prolonged exposure to intense light or excessive heat (130°F/54.4°C for more than 3 hours) may cause some gradual darkening of images.
Technical Information Odor Dissipation The “wet” chemistry associated with the development of silver halide film creates strong, unpleasant odors. By eliminating “wet” chemistry, DryView technology eliminates virtually all of these odors. While some low-level odors are produced during the development process, they pose no known adverse health risks. Processing odor levels are further reduced by a non-hazardous, recyclable filter in DryView Laser Imaging Systems.
DryView 8100 Laser Imager User Guide IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PURCHASER Kodak warrants that Kodak hardware products will be free from defects in parts, material, and manufacture for the period of one (1) year from the date of installation. For defects occurring during the warranty period and about which Kodak has received notice during the warranty period, Kodak will provide Customer with free replacement parts and labor to replace warranty-covered items.
