Abstract
A method for image generation on a recording material reduces the nonlinear spacing error between individual beams. In the method for image generation on a recording material, in which, in order to produce recording points on the recording material, individual radiation sources are used which are disposed along a line on a carrier material and in which the individual radiation sources are driven in accordance with an image and the individual beams are imaged onto a radiation-sensitive layer of the recording material. The spacing of the recording points on the recording material is set by length changes in the direction of the line being produced thermally in the carrier material.
Claims4
A method for image generation on a recording material, which comprises the steps of:
- producing recording points on the recording material using individual radiation sources disposed along a line on a carrier material by the steps of:
- driving the individual radiation sources in accordance with an image;
- imaging individual beams onto a radiation-sensitive layer of the recording material;
- controlling a spacing of the recording points on the recording material by setting length changes in a direction of the line being produced thermally in the carrier material;
- determining deviations of spacings of the individual radiation sources from respective intended spacings;
- and
- producing temperature changes in the carrier material to compensate for the deviations of the spacings.
