Egoltronics' Mark V is NOW available with fully
automatic operation, including the exclusive "Frame Finder" which
permits the operator to program a specific frame or several frames to be
printed. The automatic version can also be used in normal
step-and-repeat-operation, with the printer centering each frame for
reproduction. The automatic roll media transport, paper or film, and the
adjustable vacuum platen complete fully automatic operation of the new Mark V.
The Mark V Contact printer utilizes the MultiDodge control system to produce
optimum quality prints and diapositives. The microprocessor controlled exposure
produces maximum quality and detail in highlight and shadow areas, which can be
dodged independently and incrementally.
Dodging, or contrast compensation can be accomplished manually or automatically,
using Egols' patented Prescan to measure Dmin, Dmax and average density and
automatically correct exposure and dodging levels. The result it frame-to-frame
consistency and repeatability.
The combination of Intensity Modulation (IM) and velocity modulation (VM)
results in shorter exposure times, and extended dodging range, 2.4 density units
in each of four brightness levels (brightness range of 250:1).
The menu driven keypad interface permits the user to establish and store
exposure and dodging setting for a wide variety of photographic materials and
imagery. Keypad entry is operator friendly, menu driven, and easy to understand
and operate.
The Mark V's vacuum platen provides rapid and uniform contact while eliminating
pressure-generated distortion.
A variety of phosphors are available to optimize the CRT light source for use
with various original films, reproduction media and processing systems.
