BIDIRECTIONAL THERMAL TRANSFER IMAGING

摘要

A method is provided for forming an image on a media while the media is moved relative to an imaging head. The media can include a pattern of registration sub-regions. The image can include patterns of features, such as color filter features or colored illumination sources which can be registered with the pattern of registration sub-regions. The imaging method can include operating an imaging head to emit a plurality of independently-controllable radiation beams while scanning over media to form an image on the media. The imaging channel of the imaging head can be operated to emit a radiation beam having a first intensity while scanning in a first direction over the media during a first scan and to emit a radiation beam having a second, different intensity while scanning in a second, opposite direction over the media during a second scan.
