Linear exposure device and method

Abstract

A linear exposure device includes a housing configured to receive a photosensitive medium, a light source coupled to the housing and configured to emit light along a light path toward an exposure area, an actuator coupled to the housing and configured to reposition the photosensitive medium relative to the exposure area, and a controller operatively coupled to the light source and the actuator. The controller is configured to receive image data corresponding to a desired image, control the light source to emit light corresponding to a first portion of the desired image, control the actuator to reposition the photosensitive medium relative to the exposure area, and control the light source to emit light corresponding to a second portion of the desired image.
