Zusammenfassung: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system that simultaneously performs optical and digital printing. SOLUTION: The digital/optical hybrid printer includes a printer having a conveyor (200) for holding a photosensitive medium, a lens positioned adjacent the conveyor, and an optical combiner (120) positioned with respect to the lens so as to direct light to the photosensitive medium through the lens. It includes an optical printer (100) positioned so as to direct optical exposure to the optical combiner and a digital printer (110) positioned so as to direct digital exposure (630) to the optical combiner. A control unit is connected to the optical printer and the digital printer, the optical printer and the digital printer are controlled by the control unit so as to direct both of the optical exposure and the digital exposure simultaneously to the optical combiner. The optical combiner makes the combined digital exposure pass to the photosensitive medium through the lens next. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
