The two imagers are nearly identical except for film size. The 8700 Laser Imager uses only 14” x 17” (35 x 43 cm) Kodak DryView Laser Imaging Film (DryView film). The 8500 Laser Imager also uses DryView film but accepts only 11 in. x 14 in.
Image acquisition and printing are accomplished via host control or Kodak Keypad. Multi-Input/Dual Printer System Consists of an 8700 or 8500 Dual Printer connected to a Kodak DryView 8800 Multi-Input Manager (8800 Multi–Input Manager) or 969 HQ Laser Imager. Supports up to eight inputs.
Introduction Keypad Feature Comparison This table compares the features provided by the DryView 8700/8500 Keypad and the Kodak Keypad. Note that the Kodak Keypad is available with all DryView 8700/8500 Laser Imager systems, but the DryView 8700/8500 Keypad is available only with the DryView 8700/8500 Laser Imager Standard system.
6. The film transport drives the film out of the film developer, through the densitometer, and out to the receive tray. The densitometer is a key element in the Kodak Automatic Image Quality Control (AIQC) process, which allows the imager to automatically adjust image processing parameters to ensure optimum image quality.

Technical Information Less Impact on the Environment Disposal regulations and procedures for “wet” processing chemistry are time-consuming and expensive. And even with the most exacting procedures, the potential to discharge hazardous materials into the environment exists. Tests show that DryView Laser Imaging film is not considered hazardous to the environment.
Transit temperatures above 95°F/35°C will gradually diminish shelf life. If the Kodak Automatic Image Quality Control system (AIQC) encounters film that has been damaged by improper handling, it will automatically alert system operators before the film is developed.
Odor Dissipation The “wet” chemistry associated with the development of silver halide film creates strong, unpleasant odors. By eliminating “wet” chemistry, Kodak DryView technology eliminates virtually all of these odors. While some low-level odors are produced during the development process, they pose no known adverse health risks.
If you are interested in recycling and silver recovery, Kodak can provide your local recyclers with the information they need to get started. In some countries, Kodak has established national contracts with recycling firms.
