Abstract
A method and a device for reproducing originals onto light-sensitive materials is described where unsharp masks for changing the reproduction process or the density values to be reproduced are determined from the density values of the original and from pre-specified gradation factors. Several different gradation factors are used to determine the mask of an original.
