Abstract
A method for printing grayscale images that compensates for problems in the printing process. The presence of a defective element on a spatial light modulator (12) is compensated for with use of a white balancing area. If a column of the modulator (12) has an element stuck ON, a corresponding element in the same column in the white balancing area is turned OFF while all other columns have elements that are ON. If the illumination is non-uniform, the exposure values of each element are multiplied by an efficiency factor which compensates for the non-uniformity.
