Summary:

Image Quality is related to the capabilities of the imaging process. An ideal process would allow for the best rendition of detail with a minimum of image distortion by noise. Therefore, the color print would be very similar to collotype. A noval electronic imaging process is described for approaching the quality of collotype while gaining a very high consistency in printout even with extremely long print runs. The grains of the color separation are electronically generated. The image is frequency modulated in order to ensure rendition of both line art and continuos tone with the same process. This process is implemented in high speed electronics.
