DRYSTAR DT 1

DRYSTAR DT1 has been specially developed to produce the very highest diagnostic-quality grayscale hardcopies with DRYSTAR 2000, DRYSTAR 3000 and DRYSTAR 4500(M) imagers.

The Direct Digital Imaging (DDI) technology produces grayscale hardcopies with high Dmax and contrast. It gives you the same clear, high-quality results as wet laser film, but with all the advantages of dry technology: no wet processing, no darkroom and no chemicals. You get top quality images cleanly and trouble-free.

Can be used with following products and services

DRYSTAR 2000, DRYSTAR 3000 and DRYSTAR 4500(M) imagers.

Suitable for following market segments

Medical printing of grayscale images.

Availability

Worldwide.

Innovative technology for ecological and easy use

Direct Digital Imaging (DDI) technology is easy and convenient to use. Heat-sensitive, DRYSTAR DT1 can be loaded in daylight. Plus, you don't need any wet processing or darkroom, eliminating cleaning products, time-consuming adjustments and chemical disposal. The DRYSTAR DT1 packaging is fully recyclable.

Consistently clear and sharp images

DRYSTAR DT1 has been designed to ensure clear and sharp images all the time. It has a 175 µm-thick PET base, and is coated with silver salts and a protective top layer, making it resistant to both scratches and moisture. The PET base with rounded corners allows it to be handled like regular X-ray film. The silver-based imaging layer, which is heat-sensitive rather than light-sensitive, guarantees low fog and high contrast, combined with excellent image stability.

Two bases

DRYSTAR DT1 is available in two base tints: clear (DRYSTAR DT1 C) and blue (DRYSTAR DT1 B).
