Film Image Quality
The Laser Imaging Film delivers diagnostic-quality, continuous-tone images along with
sharp alphanumerics and optimum contrast. This high-quality, silver-based film provides
health care providers with the same diagnostic information they are accustomed to
viewing—including the spatial resolution, contrast, and gray levels. Because it is a totally
dry imaging process, there is no image quality variability due to wet chemistry.
Environmental Impact
Tests show that the Laser Imaging Film is not considered hazardous to the environment.
As a result, you can develop, recycle, and dispose of film with less impact on the
environment than if you were using wet-developed silver halide films.
