Abstract
A filter plate having defects that may cause image artefacts is moved during an exposure. The movement distributes the defects of the plate in the image to a point where they can no longer be seen in the image. Preferably, the shifting of the plate is done in the plane of the plate, in a direction perpendicular to the axes of the rollers used for in the manufacture of the plate.
