Deluxe cool-white fluorescent tubes filtered with dark amber safelight sleeves, such as the No. M58V19.055W (55 wall) sleeve available from Illumination Technology, Inc.

EncapSulite KY safelight or equivalent safelight.

A 15-watt tungsten bulb filtered with Rohm and Haas plexiglas amber 2422 material. This material can also be used to filter tungsten light that enters the work area through the windows. Note: Plexiglas amber 2422 material is not recommended for use with fluorescent tubes when Kodak ImageLite scanner film is used.

Can also be handled under most orange or red safelight illumination sources. Keep the film at least 4 feet (1.2 metres) from the safelight.

Kodak ImageLite IRF Scanner Films / Kodak Gen 5 GIR Film

Use an EncapSulite T20/ND.75 safelight available from EncapSulite International Ltd. or equivalent. Keep the film at least 1.2 metres (4 feet) from the safelight. Do not expose the film to safelight illumination for longer than two minutes.

Storage

Keep unexposed film and processed film in a cool, dry place, preferable at a temperature of 70° F (21° C) or lower and 50% RH. Process film as soon as possible after exposure.

Exposure

Variations in equipment and in methods of use preclude exact exposure recommendations. Minor adjustments may have to be made in the light intensity of the exposing source when changing from one emulsion to another. The film will produce consistent results within a particular emulsion number after the optimum exposure has been determined by trial. Follow the exposure procedures recommended by the scanner manufacturer.

Contact Applications Using ESY/GAI Film

Exposing with a variable-voltage point-source 100-watt tungsten-type lamp, operated at 8 volts, at a distance of 5 feet (1.5 metres) to provide 0.5 footcandles of illumination at the film plane, use a trial exposure of 7 seconds.

GAI, ESY, IRF, GIR specifications

Kodak is a name synonymous with imaging technology, with a rich history spanning over a century. In recent years, the company has focused on advancing its capabilities in various segments of the imaging market. Among its noteworthy innovations are the Kodak IRF, GIR, ESY, and GAI. Each of these systems showcases unique features and technologies tailored for distinct applications in the realm of imaging.

The Kodak IRF, or Infrared Imaging System, is designed specifically for applications requiring heat detection and thermal imaging. This system utilizes advanced infrared sensors to capture images that highlight temperature variations, making it ideal for industries like building inspections, electrical maintenance, and medical diagnostics. The IRF boasts high sensitivity and resolution, enabling users to pinpoint issues that may not be visible to the naked eye. Coupled with software for image analysis, the IRF empowers professionals to make informed decisions based on thermal assessments.

The Kodak GIR, or Graphic Imaging Resource, is another significant technology from Kodak. This system focuses on enhancing and optimizing image quality for printing and publishing. The GIR utilizes intelligent image processing algorithms that enhance color accuracy, contrast, and sharpness. This is particularly important for designers and publishers who rely on high-quality visuals. The combination of sophisticated software with state-of-the-art printing techniques allows GIR to produce stunning images that meet today's demanding visual standards.

Kodak's ESY, or Easy Share Your images solutions, simplifies the process of sharing and managing digital assets. With user-friendly interfaces and robust cloud integration, ESY allows photographers and videographers to easily store, edit, and share their work across multiple platforms. The system emphasizes accessibility, enabling creators to manage their portfolios efficiently while ensuring that their work reaches a wider audience.

Lastly, the Kodak GAI, or Graphic Arts Imaging system, is tailored for professional workflows in the graphic arts field. GAI incorporates cutting-edge printing technologies and materials that cater to the demands of commercial printing. Features include high-speed printing, energy efficiency, and enhanced color fidelity. With an emphasis on sustainability, the GAI system is designed to minimize waste while maximizing productivity.

In summary, Kodak's IRF, GIR, ESY, and GAI systems reflect the company's commitment to innovation in imaging technology. Each system addresses distinct needs within the industry, providing advanced solutions that enhance the quality, accessibility, and effectiveness of imaging processes across various applications. As Kodak continues to evolve, these technologies represent a significant step forward in the world of imaging.
