Technical Information Instruction Sheet – TI2407

August 2006

Features / Customer Product Specifications

Kodak ImageLite scanner films and Gen 5 films are designed for use with a wide range of today's electronic dot-generating color scanners, image recorders, imagesetters and contact-screen scanners. All are cut to "true-fit" scanner sizes to match dimensions specified by scanner manufacturers. These products can be used in most conventional rapid-access developers, such as Kodak RA 2000 developer and replenisher. It should be possible to achieve satisfactory results in most other rapid-access type developers. These films are coated on a dimensionally stable Estar base with antistatic and surface properties to ensure dependable transport and handling behavior.

ESY/GAI

A high contrast, blue sensitive film for use on electronic-dot generation

 

 

(EDG) color or monochrome scanners.

 

Optimized for use with raster scanning output devices using an argon-

 

 

ion laser (488 nm) as the exposing source.

IRF/GIR

High contrast, infrared sensitive film.

 

Recommended for use with scanners and recorders that use a laser

 

 

diode, emitting light in the infrared area (780 nm).

 

Wide exposure and development latitude.

Safelight Recommendations

Safe handling times at various safelight-to-film plane distances can be easily determined by exposing the films to a screen tint and using a card to step off various amounts of safelight exposure following image exposure. An increase in dot size or a change in density indicates excessive safelight exposure. For information on performing safelight tests, see Kodak’s Publication No. K-4, "How Safe is Your Safelight?"

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.
