Abstract
A printer for creating images on photosensitive sheets, receives digital images and uses a display to print the images onto a photosensitive medium. An optic projects image from the display onto photosensitive media. The printer converts the image data into separable binary planes of data sequentially transfers the separate binary planes to the display to create continuous tone images on the photosensitive media.
Claims8
Apparatus for printing variable density pixels which form an image on a photosensitive medium wherein such images correspond to a received digital image, comprising:
- a) a display responsive to a received digital image for presenting such image on the display;
- b) means for positioning the photosensitive media in image transfer relationship with the display means;
- and
- c) means for projecting an image from the display onto photosensitive media, including:
- i) means for converting image data into separable binary planes of data;
- and
- ii) means for sequentially transferring each separate binary plane of image data to the display to create variable density pixels on the photosensitive media.
