The A Vuong

A device for producing a slide by a three-color printing process wherein ink is transferred according to the thermal transfer printing method from a ribbon-type ink carrier onto a record carrier in the form of a transparent sheet, the ribbon-type ink carrier carrying successively arranged magenta, yellow and cyan colored ink fields being slidably guided in a slide mount across the record carrier also arranged in the mount. In the initial position of the ink carrier, the first ink field is positioned opposite the record carrier for the first ink transfer. The further ink fields can be successively aligned with the record carrier for each further ink transfer. The slide mount is loaded with the record carrier and the ink carrier is placed in a holding device of the transfer station of a thermal transfer printing apparatus where the ink is transferred by means of an infrared laser focused in the ink plane of the ink carrier. The ink carrier is transported by means of a motor drive.

Device for producing a slide

An electronic camera comprises an illumination unit (30) for line-by-line imaging of large-size documents (50) or the like on an elongate solid-state image sensor, in particular a CCD line sensor (22). The illumination unit is provided with optical elements for producing a light strip (37) on the document (50). The illumination unit (30) is arranged within the camera housing (10) for pivotal movement in the direction of the arrows 'A' or 'B'. The CCD line sensor (22) is movable, in response to the pivotal movement of the illumination unit (30), in the vertical direction within the image plane of the camera lens (42) in the direction of the arrows 'A' or 'B' so that the light strip (37) guided across the document (50) can be imaged on the CCD line sensor (22).
