Printing

Ar-ion lasers were traditionally used as light source in many applications related to printing and reprographics processes. Over the last decade, gas lasers have generally been replaced by solid-state alternatives, in the RGB colours, UV or even in the IR.

RGB lasers, mainly at relatively low powers, are being used in laser recorders for digital photofinishing, where digitally stored images are printed on photo paper and in laser scanners for transfer of analogue film images to digital format. 473 nm and 532 nm are typically used wavelengths for the blue and green colours. Ultra-high power stability and low noise are important requirements on the lasers. Some advanced photofinishing applications require also higher power levels.
