摘要 |
A calibration station (34) for a printhead (20) adapted to provide a beam of electromagnetic radiation from a variable electromagnetic energy source onto a sensitive radiation medium, the calibration station (34), incorporates a sensor (26) disposed for sensing the beam (16) provided by the printhead (20), wherein the sensor (26) provides an output sensor signal indicative of the sensed power of the beam (16). A control circuit is adapted to accept the output sensor signal from the sensor and adjusts the variable electromagnetic energy source. A filter is disposed in the path of the beam (16) between the printhead (20) and sensor (26), adapted to transmit to the sensor (26) a portion of incident electromagnetic radiation over a predefined range of wavelengths, dependent upon a measured response characteristic of the radiation-sensitive medium.
