ABOUT LASERGRAPHICS
Lasergraphics has been at the forefront of film recording system technology since 1981. The Company's high resolution photo and slide film recording systems exceeded the rigorous demands of customers in the medical, military and digital photography markets and is the reason Lasergraphics sold over 25,000 film recording systems.
Beginning in 1999, Lasergraphics focused its expertise on the digital intermediate market and introduced its award-winning Producer line of high-speed, high resolution 35mm motion picture film recording systems. With the world's fastest film recording speed, intuitive graphical user interface, and integrated color management system, the Producers make DI fast, easy, flawless, and affordable.
In 2005, continuing its vision of making DI simple, Lasergraphics introduced the Director motion picture film scanning system with an innovative modular design, precision pin-registered film transport, custom LED light source, and integrated scratch removal system.
The Director and the Producers are key components in a complete workflow solution and are testaments to the quality, performance, and reliability for which Lasergraphics is well known.
