4 Film Technical Information
General Description
This section describes the characteristics of DRYVIEW Laser Imaging 
Film, not the operation of the 5800 Laser Imager. DRYVIEW Laser 
Imaging Film is a high-resolution, infrared-sensitive, 
photothermographic film designed specifically for the family of 
DRYVIEW Laser Imagers. DRYVIEW Laser Imaging Film is packaged 
in daylight-load packages and is available in blue, clear, and 
mammography 7-mil polyester base.
Spectral Sensitivity DRYVIEW Laser Imaging Film is infrared sensitive and has been 
sensitized to the infrared laser diode of DRYVIEW Laser Imagers. 
When handled according to instructions on the daylight-load film 
package, safelights are not needed. If you remove undeveloped film 
from the daylight-load package, you will need a darkroom setting and a 
green safelight. 
Relative Log Exposure (Example)
Image Quality DRYVIEW 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 grey levels. 
Because it is a totally dry imaging process, there is no image quality 
variability due to “wet” chemistry.
