Abstract: A high speed, high resolution programmable multiformatting hardcopy video printer is devised by using a fiber optic face plate on a cathode ray tube wherein a fiber optic face plate has an electrophoretically deposited phosphor which is activated by the cathode ray tube elements. Photosensitive paper is positioned by a motorized printer in front of the face plate and exposed to the full frame video image found on the face plate by contact printing. A multiple number of full frame images may then be imprinted into the photosensitive layer of the paper across the horizontal axis according program control. The paper is then moved vertically in front of the face plate, again according to program control to allow one or more additional horizontal rows of full frame images to be imprinted in the photosensitive paper. The paper is then fixed and developed so that the latently imprinted images are rendered visible.
