Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
A method of printing using a least one spatial light modulator, said method comprising: a) establishing a process for printing lines of data, wherein said process further comprises: i) writing data to the addressing circuitry for said modulator to form an image; ii) illuminating said modulator with light from a light source; iii) reflecting said light to a photosensitive media with said modulator such that said light reflected as said images; iv) writing new data to the addressing circuitry such that each line of data previously on said addressing circuitry is written to a row of said addressing circuitry adjacent the position of said line before a reset; and b) repeating said process until a predetermined region on said photosensitive media has been completely exposed.
