Abstract
This invention relates to the production of a printing block or form of the kind in which at least one original is scanned optoelectronically to obtain image signals being mixed to generate a composite signal and is recorded as the printing block or form, one of the image signal which is to be mixed being modulated by a control signal and the other image signal being modulated by the amplitude-inverted control signal and the modulated image signals being summated to obtain said desired composite signal, said control signal determining a mixing range and the mixing characteristic within said mixing range. According to the invention, the said control signal is derived from the color information of a colored control mask by scanning said mask or from the image content of the original.
