  2. Optical printer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_printer

    A 35 mm optical printer with two projector heads, used in producing movie special effects. Starting from the left, light is shining from the lamp house, then at A is the first projector's film gate, at B a lens that projects the film in A onto the second projector's gate C.

  3. Digital light processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Light_Processing

    A three-chip DLP projector uses a prism to split light from the lamp, and each primary color of light is then routed to its own DMD chip, then recombined and routed out through the lens. Three chip systems are found in higher-end home theater projectors, large venue projectors and DLP Cinema projection systems found in digital movie theaters.

  4. Photographic printing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_printing

    Photographic printing is the process of producing a final image on paper for viewing, using chemically sensitized paper. The paper is exposed to a photographic negative , a positive transparency (or slide ) , or a digital image file projected using an enlarger or digital exposure unit such as a LightJet or Minilab printer.

  5. Overhead projector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_projector

    In contrast, a modern LCD or DLP projector often uses an Ultra-high-performance lamp which has a higher luminous efficacy and lasts for thousands of hours. [5] A drawback of that technology is the warm up time required for such lamps. Older overhead projectors used a tubular quartz bulb which was mounted above a bowl-shaped polished reflector.

  6. Image scanner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_scanner

    Alexander Murray and Richard Morse invented and patented the first analog color scanner at Eastman Kodak in 1937. Intended for color separation at printing presses, their machine was an analog drum scanner that imaged a color transparency mounted in the drum, with a light source placed underneath the film, and three photocells with red, green, and blue color filters reading each spot on the ...

  7. Inkjet printing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkjet_printing

    Inkjet printing is a type of computer printing that recreates a digital image by propelling droplets of ink onto paper and plastic substrates. [1] Inkjet printers were the most commonly used type of printer in 2008, [2] and range from small inexpensive consumer models to expensive professional machines.

  8. Contact print - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_print

    Contact print of a photo film cut in pieces, used for reviewing and selecting images for the final print. Photo by Paolo Monti, 1975. Contact printing is a simple and inexpensive process. Its simplicity avails itself to those who may want to try darkroom processing without buying an enlarger.

  9. Projection screen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection_screen

    A darker (grey) screen reflects less light, of course—both light from the projector and ambient light. This decreases the luminance (brightness) of both the projected image and ambient light, so while the light areas of the projected image are dimmer, the dark areas are darker; white is less bright, but intended black is closer to actual black.
