![]() |
A device used to produce high-resolution multi-format films directly from image data acquired during diagnostic radiology procedures using dry-processing imaging. The printer often includes a thermal head, heat-responsive microcapsules filled with dye precursors, and a developer; when heat is applied, the developer passes through the microcapsule walls and reacts with the dye precursor to form a dye that creates an image on film or paper.

Additional Information for Dry-Processing Printer
Dry-processing printers are a type of imaging equipment used in the medical, dental, and veterinary fields. They are specifically designed to produce high-quality prints of medical images such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRI scans.
Unlike traditional wet-processing printers, dry-processing printers do not require the use of chemicals or water to develop the images. Instead, they use a dry thermal printing technology that utilizes heat to transfer the image onto special thermal paper. This process eliminates the need for chemical processing, making it more convenient and environmentally friendly.
Dry-processing printers are known for their fast printing speed, high resolution, and excellent image quality. They are often used in hospitals, clinics, dental offices, and veterinary practices to quickly and accurately produce diagnostic images for patient records, consultations, and referrals.
In summary, dry-processing printers are a type of imaging equipment used in the medical, dental, and veterinary fields to produce high-quality prints of medical images without the need for chemical processing.
