Printing Images
There are three printing modes available with the CR System:
WARNING
:
True-size Printing delivers the latent image to the
destination at 100%, +/-2%. Because variations exist in
scanners, printers, and softcopy displays, use caution when
using these images for exact measurements. Kodak
recommends that you place a known marker at the subject
level when making the exposure and calculating the image
magnification.
Print Mode Description
Best Fit This mode prints the entire latent image on a
single sheet of film. Because printers cannot
print edge to edge, the image may be minified so
that the entire image fits on a sheet of film. The
actual size of the image depends on the cassette,
the printer, and the film size. The image is as
large as possible without exceeding True-size.
No data are cropped.
a
a. See Table: CR Image Minification Factors for Common Kodak Printers.
Consistent Image Size The image is created at 92.5% of True-size. This
percentage is fixed and cannot be changed by
the technologist; no data are cropped.
Images from cassettes that are the same size as
film used by the printer may not print properly
if you are using the external text box because
there are not enough pixels available to print
both the text box and the image at 92.5%.
NOTE: For best results, do not use the exter-
nal text box with Consistent Image Size
print mode. Use the internal text box. If
you must use the external text box, test
all combinations at the site before the
equipment enters service.
True-size The image is the same size as the latent image
that existed on the phosphor screen when it was
scanned, /- 2%. This is equivalent to the
size of an image on film.
The CR System crops data from the edges of a
True-size image because the CR image is typi-
cally larger than a printer can produce on a
comparable film size.
