The direct thermal technology used by the DRYSTAR 5500 is not only fast, clean and environmentally friendly, it is also one of the best ways to translate the high resolution capability of 508 ppi at a spot size of 50 µm into a final image. 

Agfa's direct thermal printing technology performs beyond current industry standards, ensuring that every pixel in the image is fully software-controlled for virtually flawless and consistent image quality.
A significant reduction in wear and tear is due to a reduction in moving parts through the use of direct thermal technology.
