What is an “LVT” output print?
The LVT is an ultra-high resolution, continuous tone Film Recorder. It exposes digital files directly onto E-6, C-41 and B&W film. LVT is an acronym for “Light Valve Technology”, which was the original exposure moderating mechanism when the film recorder was first introduced by Kodak. The LVT was originally designed by Kodak they then sold the business to Durst. The current models (ie Rhino+) use LEDs to expose the film, which gives a much nicer print. After the LVT business was sold to Durst, they improved the printers and software tremendously.

The LVT was originally designed by Kodak but they sold the business to Durst a number of years after they invented it.
