Abstract
A method of printing an image with an electronically sharpened edge. The method uses an image writing medium to form an image on a substrate. The image is printed using a range of writing medium exposures greater than a standard range. The standard range is the range required to insure that macroscopic areas of the substrate exhibit the full density range of the substrate between Dmin and Dmax. Such printing provides that sharpened edges of the image will be printed with reduced clipping of sharpened edge density. An apparatus for executing the method is also provided.
