Not all ultrasound thermal paper surfaces are the same. Durico offers four distinct surface technologies—each engineered for specific clinical applications and imaging requirements. Understanding these differences helps you select the optimal paper for your practice while maximizing both quality and cost-efficiency.
Understanding Durico's Four Surface Types
HG (High Gloss) – The most glossy finish, delivering exceptional clarity and contrast. This is the standard choice for pregnancy ultrasound imaging where diagnostic detail is paramount.
HD (High Density) – A semi-glossy surface that balances image quality with durability. Ideal for general diagnostic imaging where you need professional results without the premium price of HG.
S (Standard) – A matte finish that offers the most competitive pricing for routine monitoring and high-volume practices. Economical without compromising on reliability.
HD-Matte – Combines high-density coating with a matte surface for reduced glare in bright clinical environments.
Professional Usage: Matching Surface to Application
The High Gloss (HG) surface is the gold standard for obstetric imaging, where fine anatomical details and clear measurements are critical for patient care. Its superior light reflection creates images with exceptional depth and contrast.
For general diagnostic work, the HD (High Density) surface provides excellent image quality at a more accessible price point, making it perfect for multi-specialty clinics.
High-volume practices performing routine monitoring benefit most from the Standard (S) grade, which delivers reliable results while keeping per-patient costs low.
Medical-Grade Protection Until the Moment You Need It
Every Durico roll is individually packaged in a foil pouch to maintain medical-grade integrity until the moment it's loaded into your printer. This protection prevents moisture absorption, UV degradation, and contamination—ensuring consistent performance from the first print to the last.
