Our most popular type of imaging comes from our OCE LightJet 430 digital photographic printers. These printers use rolls of photographically sensitized media. The media is fed from the roll into a drum where it is held flat. Three lasers expose the media to red, green and blue light. After imaging, the media is off-loaded and processed in standard RA-4 photo chemistry. The resulting print is the highest quality digital image available.
Producing a true continuous tone image, the LightJet reproduces highly detailed photo images, complex gradations, and perfectly solid color with exceptionally crisp type.
