Image acquisition and printing method for photosensitive medium e.g. for prodn. of snap-shots - electronically acquiring and digitising colour image and storing in computer for output to primary and secondary displays, latter being used to expose photosensitive medium as it passes by it

摘要

The method for acquiring and printing images on a photosensitive medium involves using an electronic device to acquire and digitise a colour image. The latter is then stored in a computer (10) and is output to a primary display (11) and to a secondary display (121) connected to the computer. An end portion (33) of the photosensitive medium web (32) is exposed to light radiation from the secondary display through a conveyor. The end part is fed until it is engaged by a single sheet developer (40), and s then cut to separate a single sheet (5) contg. an exposed image. The sheet is then supplied to a developer and is dried before being fed out. The exposing phase pref. comprises three different steps, one for each colour.
