    Abstract: In making a reproduction of a coloured original, two or more colour separations are prepared in one scanning operation by circumferentially spacing around an output cylinder two or more films to be exposed (or other output surfaces to be treated) to form colour separations, and in each revolution of relative rotation between the cylinder and a reproducing head, the output of the reproducing head is modulated in turn with signals representing one line of each of the two or more separations. Subsequent lines are exposed or treated in subsequent revolutions until the last line of each separation has been scanned.

    Abstract: To reproduce colored images, color component signals generated by scanning an original are color corrected and then tone corrected and used to control the exposure of a sensitive surface. ''''Catchlights'''' are reproduced on an extended and nonlinear portion of the tone correction characteristic. To prevent the reproduction on this portion of the characteristic of signals which do not correspond to catchlights but which, through overcorrection in the color correction circuits, have a similar signal level, a catchlight detector circuit is connected in parallel with the color correction circuit so as to receive uncorrected color component signals and to modify the response of the tone correction circuit to a signal from the color correction circuit in the presence of a catchlight signal from the catchlight detector.

    Abstract: In image reproduction, joins between different parts of a montage to be reproduced, or other defects in an image, are painted over with fluorescent paint. The image is then scanned with a normal aperture, point by point, to generate densityrepresenting signals and is additionally scanned with a larger aperture to generate further signals. A threshold circuit receiving these further signals is responsive to signals of a level such as to indicate the presence of fluorescent paint within the view of the larger aperture and is operative to substitute for the output of the normal-aperture scanner a signal of predetermined value representing white or a background colour. Thus the defect-representing signals are replaced by the background signals.

    Abstract: In a method and apparatus of image reproduction in which a light-sensitive surface is scanned by a light beam modulated by a reproducing head in accordance with a signal representing the densities of successive image elements to be reproduced, a component of the scanning motion is obtained by mounting the light-sensitive surface on the non-rotating surface of a cylinder and rotating a portion of the reproducing head within the cylinder so as to define a circular track on the output surface during one revolution of the rotatable portion of the reproducing head. A rotatable prism having a plurality of internal reflecting surfaces, such as a pentaprism, may reflect the light beam and may move axially within the cylinder to provide the other component of scanning motion. The pentaprism is advantageous during the presence of rotational vibration. Additionally, a plurality of light-sensitive surfaces may be placed sequentially on the surface of the cylinder to form respective color separations.

    Abstract: In color printing, a circuit for generating a black printer signal has means for varying a selectivity factor which permits adjustment of the amount of black in colored areas while leaving it substantially unchanged in neutral areas. This variation is accomplished without substantial alteration of the scale factor of the black printer signal. The circuit includes maximum and minimum signal selector circuits receiving the color component signals and supplying the maximum and minimum signals to the two inputs of a differential amplifier having a feedback path to a first of the two inputs. The selectivity factor depends on the ratio of resistances in the feedback path and in the first input path.
