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?"
