Introduction1-1 2001 March Rev. B 8599110IntroductionIntroducing the Kodak DryView 8700 and 8500 Laser ImagersThe Kodak DryView 8700 Laser Imager (8700 Laser Imager) and the KodakDryView 8500 Laser Imager (8500 Laser Imager) are continuous–tone laserimagers with an integrated photothermographic film developer.The two imagers are nearly identical except for film size. The 8700 Laser Imageruses only 14” x 17” (35 x 43 cm) Kodak DryView Laser Imaging Film (DryView film).The 8500 Laser Imager also uses DryView film but accepts only 11 in. x 14 in. (28 x 35 cm) film sheets.Both film sizes are available in clear or blue base, packaged in 125-sheet KodakInstant Daylight Load Film Cartridges.The 8700/8500 Laser Imagers are both available in three different configurations,with two different remote keypads, described later in this manual.Figure 1-1. Kodak DryView 8700/8500 Laser Imager

User Guide1-4 8599110 2001 March Rev. BHow the 8700/8500 Laser Imager WorksThe following sequence occurs each time the 8700/8500 Laser Imager receives aprint command. The circled numbers in Figure 1-2 correspond to the numberedsteps below. Dashed lines indicate the film path.1. Suction cups in the pickup area lift a single sheet of film out of the supplycartridge and feed it into the film transport rollers.2. The film transport drives the film down into the exposure module.3. The film is exposed by a laser beam and then fed back into the film transport.4. The film transport drives the film up into the film developer.5. As the film passes over the film developer drum, the heat generated by the drumdevelops the film.6. The film transport drives the film out of the film developer, through thedensitometer, and out to the receive tray. The densitometer is a key element inthe Kodak Automatic Image Quality Control (AIQC) process, which allows theimager to automatically adjust image processing parameters to ensure optimumimage quality.

Technical Information6-1 2001 March Rev. B 8599110Technical InformationDescriptionKodak DryView Laser Imaging (DryView Laser Imaging) film is a high-resolution,infrared-sensitive, photothermographic film designed specifically for the family ofDryView Laser Imaging systems.DryView Laser Imaging film delivers the same diagnostic image quality you get withyour current silver halide laser films – but it requires no “wet” chemistry, no “wet” filmprocessors, and no darkroom procedures. This means there is no need for specialplumbing, wet chemistry disposal procedures, or modifications to your facility.DryView Laser Imaging film is packaged in daylight load packages and is availablein 14” x 17”, 11” x 14”, and 8” x 10” sizes. All sizes are available in blue or clear, 7 milpolyester base.Spectral SensitivityDryView Laser Imaging Film is infrared sensitive and has been sensitized to theinfrared laser diode of DryView Laser Imaging systems. When handled according toinstructions on the film package, safelights are not needed. It is not recommended,but if you remove undeveloped film from the daylight load package, you will need adarkroom setting and a green safelight, such as the Kodak IR Safelight.Sensitometric CharacteristicsRELATIVE LOG EXPOSURE0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 300.511.522.533.5DENSITY
User Guide6-2 8599110 2001 March Rev. BImage QualityDryView Laser Imaging film delivers diagnostic-quality, continuous-tone imagesalong with sharp alphanumerics and optimum contrast. This high-quality silver-basedfilm provides radiologists with the same diagnostic information they are accustomedto viewing – including the spatial resolution, contrast, and gray levels. Plus, becauseit is a totally dry imaging process, there is no image quality variability due to “wet”chemistry.Automatic Image Quality ControlDryView Laser Imaging film is system-matched for Kodak’s unique Automatic ImageQuality Control (AIQC) technology. This fully automated system, which is a standardfeature of DryView Laser Imaging systems, is designed to ensure that contrast,density, and other image quality parameters meet preset user preferences,film-to-film, lot-to-lot.When using the Kodak DryView 8700/8500 Laser Imager, information on each filmcartridge will allow the system to automatically determine film type, the number ofsheets remaining, and the film manufacturing lot. The AIQC uses this information toautomatically calibrate the imager’s electronics and optimize image quality withoutoperator intervention.The AIQC also reads a special density patch printed on each 14” x 17” or 11” x 14”sheet of DryView Laser Imaging film as it passes through a built-in densitometer.Slight density variations are corrected automatically.
Technical Information6-3 2001 March Rev. B 8599110Less Impact on the EnvironmentDisposal regulations and procedures for “wet” processing chemistry aretime-consuming and expensive. And even with the most exacting procedures, thepotential to discharge hazardous materials into the environment exists.Tests show that DryView Laser Imaging film is not considered hazardous to theenvironment. As a result, you can develop, recycle, and dispose of films with lessimpact on the environment than if you were using wet developed silver halide films.DryView Laser Imaging FilmEnvironmental Regulations ComparisonWet Silver Halide DryViewDeveloper Fixer Wash Film FilmProductRegulationOSHADOTUse PermitsMSDSHazardousLocalMSDSHazardousLocalNot RequiredNo LimitsNoneNot RequiredNo LimitsNoneProvidedNo LimitsNoneDisposal *RegulationEPADOT HazardousHazardous HazardousHazardous NoNo NoNo NoNoNote: There is no SUPERFUND liability with DryView Laser Imaging Film.* State and local laws vary.

BStorage and Handling of Undeveloped FilmAs with other laser imaging films, to achieve consistentresults up to the expiration date indicated on the filmpackage, DryView Laser Imaging film must be storedin a cool, dry place (41°F/5°C to 77°F/25°C) andprotected from radiation and chemistry fumes.The film can also withstand short-term temperature spikes (up to 95°F/35°C forseveral hours) during transit without any significant effect on film quality orperformance. Transit temperatures above 95°F/35°C will gradually diminish shelf life.If the Kodak Automatic Image Quality Control system (AIQC) encounters film thathas been damaged by improper handling, it will automatically alert system operatorsbefore the film is developed.Handling of Developed FilmLike other photographic films or data storage materials, the handling of DryViewLaser Imaging film requires reasonable care. Spills, humidity, and other moisturetypically have no significant effect on developed films. Prolonged exposure tointense light or excessive heat (130°F/54.4°C for more than three hours) may causesome gradual darkening of images. Leaving films in vehicles in hot climates forextended periods of time is not recommended.Under typical working conditions, DryView Laser Imaging film will maintaindiagnostic quality for over 30 years. For best results, store film in sleeves when notbeing reviewed. DryView Laser Imaging film can be left on a light box for more than24 hours; in extreme cases in which light boxes are exceptionally hot (120°F/49°C),we recommend removing them prior to eight hours of continuous exposure.Care should be taken when using spotlight viewing for more than 30 seconds,because temperatures near the light source may exceed 180°F/82.2°C. Use in slideprojectors is not recommended due to the high temperatures generally found inthese devices.With Kodak DryView technology, a small amount of final development occurs whenthe film exits the DryView Laser Imager and is initially exposed to ambient or viewbox lighting. This is virtually undetectable and has no effect on image quality (i.e.,less than 0.02 change in density). This small density increase is uniform andpermanent upon full exposure of the film under normal handling conditions (i.e.,room light or view box).
Technical Information6-5 2001 March Rev. B 8599110Archivability of Developed FilmDryView Laser Imaging film has been tested and can be archived for more than 100years when stored at American National standards Institute (ANSI) recommendedstorage conditions (77°F/25°C). Developed films may be stored at highertemperatures, however, that may reduce the number of years the film can be stored.For example, storing films at a constant elevated temperature of 90°F/32.2°C mayreduce archive capability to 30 years.Exposure to MoistureWhile moisture can damage traditional wet processed silver halide films, DryViewLaser Imaging films typically withstand humidity, spills, and other forms of waterwithout any significant effect on image quality or film integrity. If needed, films can becleaned with a clean, damp cloth.Odor DissipationThe “wet” chemistry associated with the development of silver halide film createsstrong, unpleasant odors. By eliminating “wet” chemistry, Kodak DryViewtechnology eliminates virtually all of these odors. While some low-level odors areproduced during the development process, they pose no known adverse healthrisks. Processing odor levels are further reduced by a non-hazardous, recyclablefilter in DryView Laser Imaging systems. This filter traps most low-level odors andprevents them from dissipating into the work environment. To help maintain optimumperformance, the filter requires periodic replacement as specified in the DryViewLaser Imager User’s Manual. Unlike silver halide systems, DryView Laser Imagersrequire no special venting.Heat DissipationDryView Laser Imaging systems use a controlled amount of heat to developDryView Laser Imaging films. The heat has virtually no effect on the air temperatureof the work area. The amount of heat dissipated into an area during a day is typicallyless than the heat generated by four 100-watt light bulbs.
User Guide6-6 8599110 2001 March Rev. BFilm RecyclingAccording to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards, DryView LaserImaging film is not considered hazardous – so unlike typical “wet” films, it requires nospecial disposal procedures. DryView Laser Imaging film does contain silver andpolyester that may be recovered by using one of several recycling processes.If you are interested in recycling and silver recovery, Kodak can provide your localrecyclers with the information they need to get started. In some countries, Kodak hasestablished national contracts with recycling firms.
