High resolution printer and a method for high resolution printing

摘要

The invention provides a method and printer for printing an image that comprises at least one group of highly dense shapes, the method including: (i) determining multiple intermediate schemes such as to allow printing corresponding intermediate images on an object; wherein at least one intermediate scheme comprises directing at least one interference pattern toward at least one location corresponding to at least one group of highly dense shapes; (ii) generating an array of light entities in response to an intermediate scheme; (iii) directing the array of light entities towards the object to form the intermediate image; and (iv) moving the object relative to the light entities while repeating the steps of generating and directing to expose the object with the image. The invention provides a system that includes: (i) means for determining multiple intermediate schemes such as to allow printing corresponding intermediate images on an object; wherein at least one intermediate scheme comprises directing at least one interference pattern towards at least one location corresponding to at least one group of highly dense shapes; (ii) a programmable optical radiation source for generating an array of light entities in response to an intermediate scheme; (iii) optics for directing the array of light entities towards the object to form the intermediate image; and (iv) a translator for moving the object relative to the light entities while repeating the steps of generating and directing to expose the object with the image.
