Actually went with the dry thermal unit rather than the wet chemistry route this time — we've had enough of the silver recovery and developer replenishment headaches in the smaller clinic, and the CE plus ISO13485 certs cover the regulatory side for our setup.
Basically, it handles the 14×17" sheets at about 50 per hour, and the smaller 8×10" bumps up to 70, which is fine for our volume, and the 14-bit grayscale resolution means we're not losing any contrast in the bone or soft tissue windows.
The direct thermal printing eliminates need for any wet processing, so no plumbing or chemcial storage is required, but it does limit us to the specific dry films they recommend — not all brands will work well, and we usually have stock on teh standdard sizes but confirm lead time on the 10×12".
Rubbing transfer method for the film — that's what they call it internally — and the dual tray system holds 200 sheets total, so our company can load two different sizes at once without swapping trays mid-session, which is pretty much essential for our workflow.
Most buyers go with the standard Ethernet interface (10/100/1000 Base-T) for integration, but if you're running older PACS systems you'll want to check compatiblity — we've had to add a converter once or twice for legacy setups.
Our standard MOQ is 5 units, but we can negotiate for smaller trial orders if you're a new customer.
Yes, we include copies of CE and ISO13485 certificates with every order to help you pass local regulatory checks.
Yes, it supports all three sizes automatically via the two trays—just load the film, and the processor detects the size.
Lead time is 15-20 working days after order confirmation. We pack each unit in a foam-lined wooden crate, and the 50kg weight keeps shipping manageable.
Store at 30%-95% humidity. Staying within that range prevents film sticking or image degradation during storage.
