A multi-user digital laser imaging system for imaging film from bar coded cartridges as a function of image values representative of the images to be printed. The imaging system includes memory for storing transfer functions and film models for each of several users. The transfer functions characterize the relationships between image values and expected imaged film transmittance quantities. The film models characterize the relationship between the transmittance quantities and laser drive values that will provide the appropriate film exposure. An image management subsystem generates lookup tables characterizing the relationship between image values and laser drive values on the basis of …

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 3, 1993. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended November 3, 2013.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
