Abstract
Image scanning apparatus comprising a profiling surface; a feed mechanism for feeding a flexible radiation sensitive record medium across the profiling surface; a scanning system for scanning a modulated radiation beam across the record medium to expose the record medium; and a pressurizer operable simultaneously with the feed mechanism to apply a pressure difference across the record medium as it is fed across the profiling surface whereby the record medium engages the profiling surface and conforms with the shape of the profiling surface.
