 AMK
DS-IRL LASER DIODE FILM |
|
| DESCRIPTION |
|
 AMK
DS-IRL is a high sensitive, high contrast
graphic arts film that is designed for
use on imagesetters and scanners equipped
with LED laser light sources emitting
at 660 nanometers.
DS-IRL 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-IRL can be processed with
most of the Rapid Access chemistries
available in the market. AMK DS-IRL
has been coated on 0,10mm. optically
clear, permanently anti-static polyester
base to reduce dust and pinholes, which
is also available in matte surface. |

|
| 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-IRL is handled under one of the
dark green safelights indicated below
until it has been developed.
> Wratten No. 3 dark green.
> 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-IRL
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-IRL film is available
in all standard roll 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-IRL is stored in its
light safe original packaging in cool
and dry place, preferably below 21ºC
and 55% relative humidity. |
