Eastman Kodak Company is soon releasing its Kodak DryView 8900 dry laser imaging system, which produces more than 180
films per hour at 650 dpi laser resolution. This resolution
applies to all film sizes, including 14" x 17" and
11" x 14". The imager contains three film drawers
and supports five film sizes: the above-mentioned 14"
x 17" and 11" x 14", as well as 14" x
14", 10" x 12" and 8" x 10". Geared
toward centralized printing in busy multi-modality areas,
the DryView 8900 is also suitable for producing output from
modalities that generate mixed film sizes such as computed
radiography. Expect to see the DryView 8900 in the second
half of 2003. — Indicate 202 under February 03

DryPix 7000 medical dry laser imager from Fujifilm Medical Systems USA (Stamford, CT) offers a throughput of 180
14" x 17" films per hour and 240 10" x 14"

networking products to support their dry imager line: the
DryPix Station, providing users with print load management
and automatic fail-over capabilities between the DryPix 7000
and other Fuji DICOM imagers and print servers; and the DryPix
Link, which converts non-DICOM modality images to DICOM Print,
allowing older FCR readers and other compliant modalities
to print to Fuji dry imagers.
