(under subclass 177) Subject matter wherein a colored original is exposed to a plurality of different colored lights to produce separation images.
(1) Note. The plurality of different colors may be produced by filters or different colored light sources.
(2) Note. Rather than forming a total light image of an original, the light image is filtered (or different colored exposure lights are used) to produce a single-colored light image which is a light image of the original. A succession of latent images are thus produced, each corresponding to a separate, different-colored, single light image. Each latent image is developed with toner complementary in color to the color of the filtered light image. The toner images are superimposed in registration to produce a color copy corresponding to the latent image formed with red light developed with cyan toner. A blue light image is developed with yellow toner. A green light image is developed with magenta. Also, another term for color separation images is color resolved images.
