Film Technical Information

Handling Developed
Film
Handling DRYVIEW Laser Imaging Film requires reasonable care.
Spills, humidity, and other moisture typically have no significant effect
on developed films. However, prolonged exposure to intense light or
excessive heat (130°F/54.4°C) for more than three hours may cause
some gradual darkening of images. Leaving films in vehicles in hot
climates for extended periods of time is not recommended.
For best results, store film in sleeves when not being reviewed.
DRYVIEW Laser Imaging Film can be left on a light box for more than
24 hours; in extreme cases in which light boxes are exceptionally hot
(120° F/49°C), Carestream Health recommends removing them prior to
eight hours of continuous exposure.
Take care when using spotlight viewing for more than 30 seconds
because temperatures near the light source may exceed 180° F/82.2°C.
Use in slide projectors is not recommended due to the high temperatures
generally found in these devices.
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 (typically 0.02 change in density). This small
density increase is uniform and permanent upon full exposure of the film
under normal handling conditions (for example, 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.
