Features / Customer Product Specifications
Kodak ImageLite scanner films and Gen 5 films are designed for use with a wide range of today's
electronic dot-generating color scanners, image recorders, imagesetters and contact-screen scanners. All
are cut to "true-fit" scanner sizes to match dimensions specified by scanner manufacturers. These
products can be used in most conventional rapid-access developers, such as Kodak RA 2000 developer
and replenisher. It should be possible to achieve satisfactory results in most other rapid-access type
developers. These films are coated on a dimensionally stable Estar base with antistatic and surface
properties to ensure dependable transport and handling behavior.
ESY/GAI • A high contrast, blue sensitive film for use on electronic-dot generation
(EDG) color or monochrome scanners.
• Optimized for use with raster scanning output devices using an argon-
ion laser (488 nm) as the exposing source.
IRF/GIR • High contrast, infrared sensitive film.
• Recommended for use with scanners and recorders that use a laser
diode, emitting light in the infrared area (780 nm).
• Wide exposure and development latitude.
Safelight Recommendations
Safe handling times at various safelight-to-film plane distances can be easily determined by exposing the
films to a screen tint and using a card to step off various amounts of safelight exposure following image
exposure. An increase in dot size or a change in density indicates excessive safelight exposure. For
information on performing safelight tests, see Kodak’s Publication No. K-4, "How Safe is Your Safelight?"
