  • Patent number: 6457799
    Abstract: An image is printed in an image print area on a recording medium by using a first printing material. Information is printed on an image preservation determination portion in a border portion as an area other than the image print area by using a second printing material which deteriorates faster than the first printing material. This portion is stored as density data, color appearance data, or the like in the apparatus to be used as a criterion for determination of deterioration when the image is to be reused.

  • Publication number: 20020135664
    Abstract: An exposure apparatus performs exposure of a photosensitive body by an array of light emitting devices to form an image as a latent image thereon. The array of light emitting devices incorporate micro-optical cavities. The micro-optical cavities limit wavelengths of light emitted from the array of light emitting devices, so that the wavelength at a peak of emitted light is in a half width region of sensitivity versus wavelength of the photosensitive body.
