Abstract:
A selective color copyability illuminator includes a pair of lamps having complementary spectral emission. The ratio of the lamp outputs are adjustable to enhance a first color of an original to be copied while suppressing the second color. The power input to the lamps is also continually adjustable to maintain a desired exposure level at an imaging plane. In a preferred embodiment, a dichroic reflector is utilized with each lamp to enhance system efficiency.
