Abstract
A method for improving exposure resolution that includes several steps. A high gray scale resolution image is analyzed and a determination is made of a media plane (331) exposure gray scale resolution requirement. Exposure time and an exposure intensity is determined for each of the low gray scale resolution intermediate images. A number of low gray scale resolution intermediate images (332) are required to provide the media plane exposure resolution; and an exposure time and exposure intensity (333) for each of the low resolution intermediate images is determined. An image content for each of the low gray scale resolution intermediate images is determined (334) and each of the low resolution intermediate images is printed (335) at the exposure time and the exposure intensity.
