Abstract
The invention relates to a method and an imagesetter by means of which a photo material comprising a plurality of zones to be exposed individually, such as hundreds of thousands of such zones, can be done in an economical manner and particularly in acceptable exposure times. To this end, a method is provided for exposing a photo material comprising a plurality of zones to be exposed, preferably disposed regularly, particularly line by line, and having a digitally derived image, by means of which method a continuous relative motion is carried out between the photo material and the imagesetter, and the exposition of the individual zones takes place during said motion.
Claims21
A method for exposing a photo material comprising a plurality of zones to be exposed, preferably disposed regularly, particularly line by line, with a digitally calculated image by means of an image setter, by movement of which a continuous relative motion is carried out between the photo material and the image setter, and the exposition of the individual zones takes place during said motion.
An image setter for the exposure of a photo material that features a plurality of zones to be exposed individually, preferably disposed regularly, particularly line by line with a digitally calculated image, whereby said image setter features an image generation unit and an entrance pupil, whereby the image setter unit is equipped for the automated movement relative to the photo material to be exposed and whereby the entrance pupil is, controlled in its position, modifiable relative to the image setter unit in such a way that its image, an exit pupil, remains during a movement of the image setter unit relative to the photo material essentially stationary in relation to the photo material at least for the duration of an exposure time.
