Film Technical Information
January 14, 2008 2G0733 4-3
With DRYVIEW technology, a small amount of final development occurs
when the film exits the laser imager and is initially exposed to ambient or
view-box lighting. This is virtually undetectable and has no effect on image
quality (i.e., typically 0.02 change in density). This small density increase is
uniform and permanent upon full exposure of the film under normal
handling conditions (i.e., room light or view box).
Archiving Developed
Film
DRYVIEW Laser Imaging Film has been tested and can be archived for
more than 100 years when stored at American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) recommended storage conditions (77°F/25°C). Developed films
may be stored at higher temperatures; however, that may reduce the number
of years the film can be stored. For example, storing films at a constant
elevated temperature of 90°F/32.2°C may reduce archive capability to 30
years.
Exposing to Moisture DRYVIEW Laser Imaging Films typically withstand humidity, spills and
other forms of water without any significant effect on image quality or film
integrity. If needed, film can be cleaned with a clean, damp cloth.
Dissipating Odor DRYVIEW technology eliminates virtually all unpleasant 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 the laser imager. This filter
traps most low-level odors and prevents them from dissipating into the work
environment. To help maintain optimum performance, the filter requires
periodic replacement. DRYVIEW Laser Imagers require no special venting.
Dissipating Heat DRYVIEW Laser Imagers use controlled heat to develop DRYVIEW Laser
Imaging Film. The heat has virtually no effect on the air temperature of the
work area. The amount of heat dissipated into an area during a day is
typically less than the heat generated by two to four 100-watt light bulbs.
Recycling Film According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards,
DRYVIEW Laser Imaging Film is not considered hazardous and requires no
special disposal procedures. However, the film does contain silver and
polyester that may be recovered by using one of several recycling processes.
