IMAGE-RECORDING DEVICE FOR A PRINTING FORM, HAVING AN ARRAY OF VCSEL LIGHT SOURCES

摘要

Arrangement for illustrating a printing forme (16) has an array (10) of light sources (12) and imaging optics (14) for generation of a matrix of image points on the printing forme. The light sources are vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) light sources that can be independently controlled. The invention also relates to a corresponding printing forme illuminator and a printing machine.
