Abstract
A method () and apparatus () is described for performing image rendering of high resolution computer generated images using limited memory and constrained rendering architectures. An image is segmented into a plurality of tiles (). A graphics renderer (), which is usually used for rendering low resolution images onto a display device (), is used to render one tile () at a time. The rendered tile images are combined to form a band of the image () and the image data of the band () is transferred to a printer engine () for printing. Each band () is rendered and transferred to the printer engine () until the whole image is printed.
