A#Sharp

As part of Agfa’s continual drive to provide customers with perfect image quality, Agfa’s award winning Direct Digital Imaging (DDI) technology has been enhanced to include A#Sharp technology. This technology intensifies imaging capability, enabling DDI to provide sharper image quality across all applications.

The development of the A#Sharp software was a logical step in the continued improvement of Agfa's DDI solutions. The first step was achieved by replacing old fashioned laser-optics technology with solid-state high-tech electronics as an innovative printing technology. The second step was further improvement through sharper image quality. A#Sharp advances DDI image quality significantly in this area, and thus is a logical progression for Agfa's DDI solutions.

Direct Digital Imaging technology with A#Sharp Enhancement offers a number of advantages in addition to the enhanced image quality offered by A#Sharp technology. DDI technology is a single step process, with no separation of exposure and heat processing. Its simple mechanism makes it compact and highly reliable. Daylight insensitivity facilitates maintenance and reduces running costs, while solid-state imaging ensures long life and controlled, consistent image quality. Lastly, DDI with A#Sharp offers an excellent price/performance ratio.
