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.
