Polyester film is more dimensionaly stable than paper, so you should use it for critical multi-colordesigns or positives that need to be more durable. It looks 'frosted' because it has a slight texture which helps toner stick to the polyester film.
100 sheets per box. For use in the Xanté FilmMaker4 or other laser printer used for making screen positives.

Laser Film sold per box. 100 sheets per box.

The FilmMaker 4 is the first desktop film system designed specifically for computer-to-film printing. No more camera, darkroom, or expensive outsourcing costs. Our FilmMaker 4 provides daylight film loading at a minimal cost of ownership.

Simply output your digital file from your computer to the FilmMaker 4, process your Myriad film with the FilmStar, and within seconds you have high quality film without having to set foot in the darkroom. In addition to offering Myriad film for negatives, we also present the new Myriad clear film for imaging film positives.

We have taken high resolution one step further by introducing 2400 x 2400 dpi on our prepress and graphics products. Achieving resolution this high is important for service bureaus, commercial and in-plant printers, ad agencies, and others who work with camera-ready materials, film, or plates.

Adobe PostScript 3 delivers targeted benefits to its users for whom printing the right document in the right way is critical. What was considered acceptable image quality yesterday is no longer acceptable today.

Enhanced Image Technology recognizes image objects and automatically optimizes processing to deliver the highest possible quality, and at the same time, reduce the return-to-application time -- the time it takes for users to regain control of their computers after printing. With new imaging features, including support for three-dimensional images, photo quality grayscaling, smooth gradients in graphics objects, and masking images, Adobe PostScript 3 fulfills the creative expression requirements of business professionals and graphic artists alike.

Customers like you are demanding higher quality output, but without performance compromise. With printing patterns changing from print and distribute to distribute and print, there is an even greater need for faster performance. With users responsible for printing more, longer, and increasingly complex documents, there is more network traffic. In addition, users need a quick return to application so they can continue working without being held hostage by the printer.

Adobe PostScript 3 examines every aspect of the printing process to gain maximum performance advantages. Adobe PostScript 3 performs an average of 27 percent faster on simple office documents and up to six times faster on complex graphics.

Laser printing is an involved process that uses an assortment of finely tuned, moving parts. As a result, tolerance varies from one printer to another. For example, if a letter-sized image is printed on two different printers, the image from one printer may be 10.98 inches tall, while the image printed on the other printer might be 11.1 inches tall. The height of the image may vary from printer to printer.

The X-ACT feature provides an easy, convenient way to calibrate your printer and achieve precise control over horizontal and vertical dimensional accuracy, ensuring output of unmatched quality. Without X-ACT, tolerance on a printer can be as much as one percent (1%). That means a 12-inch (304 mm) image can be off by as much as .12 of an inch (3 mm) (almost 1/8 of an inch). When one printer enlarges an image and the next printer reduces it, this inconsistency is magnified. The difference between the sizes of the two images can be almost .25 inch (6 mm). Compare this value with the reduced tolerance of the X-ACT feature: over the same 12-inch area, X-ACT can provide accuracy to .02 inch (.5 mm) (1/64" = .015625). As you can see, this is a tremendous improvement in dimensional accuracy.

The basic flaw requiring gamma correction is that the eye perceives different gray levels in a non-linear fashion. In other words, the eye will fool you. Another factor causing the need for gamma correction on a laser printer is that certain gray levels can vary among different model monitors due to differing phosphor white backgrounds. This can result in grayscales appearing differently on paper than on the monitor. Also, gamma correction may be needed to adjust for different 'whitenesses' of paper which can create incorrect gray tones as perceived by the eye.

When a laser printer is designed, it should default to a perfect gamma transition as read by a densitometer. However, the calibration of the printer does not guarantee that the gamma will match your particularprinting environment. Calibration of this gamma curve is often necessary to match the monitor with the paper. The gamma can be changed on our printer products through simple front panel selections. Any one of the six predetermined settings (programmed by our development engineers) can be chosen.

The finaloutput is the proof of perfect gamma correction.

How the human eye perceives the transition of grayscales from white to black has always been a problem in the printing industry. Giving the end user a means of easily correcting this problem is achieved with this important correction technology.
