 AMK
DS-IR INFRARED IMAGESETTING FILM |
|
| DESCRIPTION |
|
 AMK
DS-IR is a high sensitive, high contrast
infrared sensitive graphic arts film
that is designed for use on imagesetters,
recorders and scanners equipped with
Infrared Laser Diode emitting at 780
nanometers. DS-IR has outstanding dot
sharpness and easily controllable etchability.
Moreover, half-tone dots are extremely
accurate, line edges are very sharp,
thus enabling faithfully reproduced
details. DS-IR can be processed with
most of the Rapid Access chemistries
available in the market. AMK DS-IR has
been coated on 0,10mm. optically clear,
permanently anti-static polyester base
to reduce dust and pinholes. |

|
| EXPOSURE |
|
| Since exposure varies
from shop to shop and from output device
to output device, it is strongly recommended
to use the procedure recommended by
the equipment manufacturer and that
a series of test exposures are made
at different intensities. |

| SAFELIGHT |
|
It is necessary that
the DS-IR is handled under one of the
dark green safelights indicated below
until it has been developed.
> Wratten No. 7 filter.
> Encapsulite T20 / N.D. 75 or equivalent.
(*) Keep the film at least 1,5 meters
away from the safelight and do not expose
the film to safelight illumination for
more than a minute. |
|
|
|
| DIMENSIONAL
STABILITY |
|
| Although the DS-IR gives
the maximum dimensional stability obtainable,
any film will change size slightly in
extreme atmospheric conditions. In general,
extreme heat will cause an increase
in size and extreme cold will cause
a decrease in size. In this respect,
please refer to storage recommendations
for optimum results. |
|
|
|
| PACKAGING |
|
| AMK DS-IR film is available
in all standard roll and cassette sizes
and packaging that comply with the need
of all internal drum, external drum
and capstan imagesetting, recording,
and scanning systems in the market.
|
|
|
|
| STORAGE |
|
| It is highly recommended
that the AMK DS-IR is stored in its
light safe original packaging in cool
and dry place, preferably below 21ºC
and 55% relative humidity. |
