Horizon Starter Manual xxv
Preface
Hardware Variations
•
Components used in the imager may vary, causing differences in
image quality. The thermal process of producing a print utilizes
many components that are calibrated to provide consistency
between imagers. There are subtle differences between imagers
that can cause print variations. These differences usually apply to
thermal print head calibration. Other factors such as age, usage,
heat, mechanical wear, and shipping can affect image color and
quality.
The Codonics, Inc., family of Horizon imagers produces
radiological quality, hardcopy output. They can produce color
prints on dye-diffusion film and paper, and grayscale prints on
direct thermal film and paper. They are designed to convert digital
image data from a host computer into hardcopy prints.
Film prints are suitable for diagnostic use when viewed on a light
box designed for such purposes. Color film prints, and color and
grayscale paper prints, have the quality, texture, and feel of
standard photographic materials. All Horizon imagers create prints
electronically, without optics, wet chemicals, or a separate fusing
process.
The exact media types and sizes supported will vary, depending on
the specific model purchased.
