Drystar 5302 features
The Drystar 5302 is a dry digital tabletop printer for producing medical
diagnostic images.
It can print multiple formats (8x10”, 10x12”, 11x14”, 14x14” and 14x17”) of
blue-based (Drystar DT 2B) and clear-based (Drystar DT 2C) film and offers
crisp, dense grayscale images.
The Drystar 5302 offers the following features:
QDry technology for printing diagnostic quality hardcopies in full daylight offers
important advantages: no chemistry, no wet processing, simple cleaning proce-
dures, no time-consuming adjustments, no darkroom and no chemical disposal
costs. The consumables can be loaded in full daylight.
QWith its compact design, the Drystar 5302 needs little workspace and allows
easy customer access. Maintenance and service activities are reduced to a mini-
mum.
QThe direct thermal printing system provides grayscale images with high quality:
320 pixels per inch resolution, each pixel with 12 bit contrast resolution and an
optical density up to 3.1 (measured with an X-Rite 310 densitometer).
QMultiple film formats (8x10”, 10x12”, 11x14”, 14x14” and 14x17”) can be used.
Any combination of two film formats can be used “online”. Both input trays can
be adjusted for all film formats.
QThe input trays of the Drystar 5302 are equipped with an RF-tag reader, which
automatically traces the films used in the printer and protects the printer when
detecting non-identified media.
QNumber of input trays.
The Drystar 5302 is equipped with 2 input trays. Both input trays can use
multiple formats (8x10” up to 14x17”).
The Drystar 5302 is a Dicom-only network printer.
