In the world of diagnostic imaging, speed and precision are critical—both during the imaging process and when producing physical outputs for records or consultation. As the healthcare industry increasingly depends on digital workflows, high-quality film printing remains a key requirement for many facilities. Agfa addresses this need with its reliable range of dry film printers: the drystar 5302, drystar axys, and drystar 5503. These systems are built to deliver top-tier printing solutions for medical environments, offering the right balance of quality, speed, and versatility.
Compact Efficiency: DRYSTAR 5302
The drystar 5302 is a compact tabletop printer, perfectly suited for hospitals and diagnostic centers that require high-quality printing with limited space. Designed with simplicity in mind, it handles dual film sizes, which allows users to perform multiple imaging tasks—such as general radiography and CT or MR output—without switching film trays.
This printer uses Agfa’s direct digital imaging technology to deliver crystal-clear images with excellent density and contrast. It does not require chemical processing, making it a cleaner and more environmentally responsible option. With fast throughput and a small footprint, the drystar 5302 is an ideal fit for decentralized environments or smaller healthcare setups where space and speed are key factors.
Versatility in Multi-Modality: DRYSTAR AXYS
The drystar axys is a multi-modality dry film printer known for its speed and flexibility. It supports a broad range of imaging needs, from general radiology to more specialized applications such as mammography and orthopedics. It accommodates various film sizes with a built-in capability for multi-size printing, giving it an edge in diverse clinical workflows.
One of the core advantages of the drystar axys is its speed—delivering the first film in under a minute. This rapid output ensures that radiologists and physicians have immediate access to hard-copy images, which is crucial in time-sensitive environments such as emergency departments or surgical prep rooms.
Its compact size also allows it to be placed closer to the point of care, reducing the distance between imaging and printing. This proximity helps streamline operations and boosts productivity in busy departments.
High-Capacity Powerhouse: DRYSTAR 5503
For high-volume imaging centers and hospitals that demand the fastest and most versatile printing solutions, the drystar 5503 stands out. With its triple media tray capability, it supports multiple film sizes simultaneously without the need for manual tray changes, making it suitable for mixed-modality environments.
The drystar 5503 uses advanced thermal printing technology to deliver images with outstanding detail, consistency, and grayscale accuracy. This makes it ideal for facilities that require top-quality film prints for archiving, specialist review, or patient transfer. The system is built for continuous use in busy radiology departments and can easily handle high workloads with minimal maintenance requirements.
