Optional Printer
Because the DenOptix QST system can be interfaced with different applications software, and
printer technology is constantly evolving, we can only suggest a list of suitable technical
requirements for printers.
To interface with the PC, the printer must have a digital input and not a video (analog) input.
Using the standard Windows® drivers allows the use of the same printer for all other Windows
applications (word processing, etc.).
Inkjet Printers
Black and white or color hard copy. Printers should have a minimum of 600 dpi
resolution and pseudo-randomic dithering.
We recommend using the photographic quality glos
sy paper and printing on the
highest resolution setting available.
Thermal Printers
Thermal printers print in shades of grey with at least 64 levels. Thermal printers
use a special type of paper which guarantees a print life of about 3 years.
Dye Sublimation Printers
Suitable for high printing quality whenever the DenOptix QST System is used in
combination with an intraoral camera.
Laser Printers
If a Laser Printer is adopted, contact the Printer manufacturer or a representative
to make sure that it can achieve at least 256 gray shades. Non medical grade Laser
Printers may not be able to achieve a good image quality.
