The LightJet 500XL design incorporates advanced laser technology to optimize the color of digital prints.  It’s 36-bit color space, capable of producing 68 billion colors, ensures optimum control over the light source to reproduce color with perfect fidelity. Using red, green, and blue lasers, the LightJet 500XL achieves true continuous-tone photographs without visible dots.  LightJet 500XL image technology ensures a constant pixel size, shape, and intensity over the entire image.  Internal drum architecture holds the media stationary while it is exposed by a highly accurate micro-positioning mechanism; the pixels are imaged with a constant spot size regardless of where it appears on the image. File reading, color correction, pixel interpolation, and printing all happen simultaneously.  The LightJet 500XL accepts multiple photographic materials from reflective to backlit display media.
