ADVICE FOR AIRPORT X-RAY SCANNERS: FILM & PAPERS
Ilford are working with the DFT and Heathrow airport in the UK and will shortly be updating the information relating to the new CT type x-ray scanners being installed at major airports worldwide.
Based on initial testing, it is almost certain the new CT type x-ray scanners for cabin baggage will be deemed unsafe for any of our ILFORD and KENTMERE film products irrespective of ISO speed rating.
You must therefore ask for hand inspection of your films if the airport is using one of the new type scanners. They will be issuing more specific advice as they complete our testing and evaluation.

HOW TO IDENTIFY THE CT TYPE X-RAY SCANNERS
The following machines are currently on the market;
- Smiths – CTIX
- L3 – Clearscan
- Rapiscan – 920CT / Connect CT
- IDSS – Detect 1000
- Nuctech – Kylin
- Analogic Cobra
FOR AIRPORTS WITHOUT THE NEW MACHINES, THE FOLLOWING ADVICE IS STILL RELEVANT.
If you need to travel on aircraft with film, we recommend always taking your film in carry on cabin luggage. The X-ray scanners used to check hand luggage are safe for all but the highest speed films, so except for DELTA PROFESSIONAL 3200, this is our recommendation. It is also possible to request a hand inspection for films and most security staff will allow this (although this varies between airports and countries). For DELTA 3200 you should request a hand inspection or alternatively buy the film at your destination.
Please Note: We do not recommend taking any film in your checked hold luggage, the X-ray machines used for scanning hold luggage are more powerful than the hand luggage scanners and may cause fogging of your films.
