Description
Circa Mid 1980's
Use Case:
A post-processing, thermal laminating and drying unit designed as the final stage in a specific KODAK dye-sublimation photo printing system.
Its function was to receive a printed-but-not-finished dye-sub print from a dedicated Kodak printer (like the KODAK SV6100 Color Video Printer or similar SV-series printer). The print at this stage would have the dye transferred to the paper but would still be vulnerable. The SV65 would then:
- Apply a Protective Overcoat: Through a final heating and pressure process, it would bond a clear, durable laminate (from a ribbon in the connected printer) onto the print's surface.
- Dry/Cure the Print: The "HEATING" indicator refers to this finishing process, which would ensure the dyes were fully set and the overcoat was permanently affixed, making the print smudge-proof, water-resistant, and UV-stable.
- Output a Finished Product: It would eject a fully laminated, commercially durable photographic print.
