Abstract
A color printer that conducts an image from a surface of a CRT through a graded index lens to expose media. The CRT is mounted at an acute angle with respect to the media, to compensate for the graded index lens focusing different colors at different distances. The graded index lens is placed at a center of the acute angle. The CRT may have different phosphor stripes on the face of the CRT for each color being exposed or the CRT may have a white phosphor throughout the entire exposure area of the CRT and utilize color filters to create each color being exposed.
