Abstract
A method for improving exposure resolution that includes several steps. A high gray scale resolution image is analyzed and a determination is made of a media plane ( ) exposure gray scale resolution requirement. Exposure time and an exposure intensity is determined for each of the low gray scale resolution intermediate images. A number of low gray scale resolution intermediate images ( ) are required to provide the media plane exposure resolution; and an exposure time and exposure intensity ( ) for each of the low resolution intermediate images is determined. An image content for each of the low gray scale resolution intermediate images is determined ( ) and each of the low resolution intermediate images is printed ( ) at the exposure time and the exposure intensity.
