Development of High Speed CRT Print Head Systems for Cartographic Applications.

Abstract

The CRT 2000 Print Head System is a high speed, large format, flatbed plotter photocomposition system developed for the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) to produce color separation film masters for maps and charts from digital names/symbols and cartographic data. The color separations are used to prepare press-ready printing plates for conventional multi-color printing presses for the printing of color charts and maps. Three engineering models of CRT 2000 Print Heads were developed, installed and integrated with government owned Plotter Tables at the Defense Mapping Agency's Hydrographic, Topographic and Aerospace Centers located in Washington, D.C. and St. Louis, MO. respectively.
