The Horizon imager offers powerful image processing capabilities:
•
Image conversion, image scaling, and grayscale and color
management are performed by a high-performance Intel
processor.
•
The Horizon imager eliminates the pixelation often seen when
enlarging images by using sophisticated scaling algorithms such
as Lanczos, Bilinear, Bicubic, and Mitchell. These scaling
techniques provide flexibility for applications from medical
imaging to photo reproduction.
•
Image processing can be controlled through default image and
sheet settings, custom settings entered from DICOM
applications, in PostScript print settings, or settings associated
with a selected Job Settings file. This provides maximum
flexibility of output for each user accessing the imager.
•
The Horizon imager will produce diagnostic-quality images with
an optical density of 3.0 or greater on
DirectVista
grayscale
film.

which are added to a sheet when it is printed. This feature can be
enabled and disabled for each user. For more information, refer to
