Abstract

A spot of light is formed upon a photosensitive material which is moved in a scanning direction, and the spot is vibrated to and fro along a vibration direction at a considerable angle to the scanning direction, and the amplitude of vibration, and the center of the vibration path, are controlled so that the spot exposes areas on the photosensitive material which form half-tone dots.
