Abstract
A method for forming a pixel () having a predetermined density onto a sensitized recording medium moving in a length direction energizes a pixel exposure source () to begin exposure at the leading edge () of a pixel () and for a first predetermined time interval. The pixel exposure source () is de-energized for a period depending on the predetermined density and on media transport speed, then re-energized at the termination of the period. The pixel exposure source () is then de-energized at the end of a second predetermined time interval to terminate exposure at the trailing edge () of the pixel (), whereby spatial dimensions of each pixel () are maintained at variable transport speed or density of pixel ().
