		Imagesetters are expensive and therefore are generally not found in homes or small businesses.
		Imagesetters are an important part of the professional printing process.
		However, an imagesetter is still necessary for very high-resolution images and photographs that are placed on paper for magazines or newspapers or to the film used to create printing plates for printing presses by printing companies.

	Patent 5909237: Exposing imagesetter recording film on a color-proofing apparatus
		The imagesetter recording film is loaded on the vacuum imaging drum in registration with the support material and an image is formed on the imagesetter recording film by removing dye from the imagesetter recording film.
		Imagesetter recording film overlays the support material and a leading and trailing edge of the imagesetter recording film is on an axially extending flat.
		After imagesetter film 40 reaches a predetermined position, the media drive rollers 112 cease driving the imagesetter film 40 and the two media knife blades 122 positioned at the bottom portion of the media knife assembly 120 cut the imagesetter film 40 into imagesetter film sheets 42.

	creativepro.com - Endangered Species? The state of the imagesetter
		Although the range of the imagesetter has been reduced significantly by the sexy new technologies of computer-to-plate (CTP) and computer-to-press printing, it is in no danger of going the way of the dinosaur.
		Computer-to-press technology has taken a big bite out of the imagesetter marketplace-ironically, it has had its greatest impact on the newest segment of the imagesetter range, the 8-up imagesetters that produce fully-imposed printer's flats.
		Even a 12-inch-wide imagesetter can deliver pages that can be stripped up to make any size plate and can be ideal for a printer with several different types of presses in the pressroom or for a service bureau that supplies film to different printers.

		With drum imagesetters, the film is held stationary onto the drum while the imaging head moves along a spindle to expose the film.
		Drum imagesetters are universally engineered to create tolerances of one-fifth of a mil and are unequaled for their ability to hold registration.
		For example, the imagesetter should print patches of 10%, 20%, and 30% on the calibration strip, but the actual percentages printed might be 14%, 25%, and 36%.

		An imagesetter is a high resolution output device that can transfer electronic text and graphics directly to film, plates, or photo-sensitive paper.
		An imagesetter uses a laser and a dedicated raster image processor (RIP) and is usually Postscript-compatible to create the film used in computer-based preproduction work.
		Unlike the resolution on a home printer, which is probably between 300 - 600 dots per inch (dpi), the resolution on a typical imagesetter is 1270 or 2540 dpi with a maximum dpi of 4000.

		An imagesetter spot is created by the image recorder laser beam when it is focused on a point of paper or film.
		The imagesetter spots composing the grid are called printer dots, and, in fact, image recorder resolution is measured in dots per inch (dpi).
		That is, the screen angle and frequency are calculated in relation to the imagesetter grid, and a tile is generated.

		However, of all the digital film imagesetters on the market serving the screenprint and graphic arts industry, one of the most commonly used is the AccuSet Plus Imagesetter from Agfa.
		In addition to the imagesetter, you will need a Raster Image Processor (RIP), which takes a complex PostScript file and breaks it down into a language that tells the laser when to turn on and off as it burns the film.
		The amount of data that will flow through to the digital film imagesetter will determine how robust the RIP must be in order to support your art files.
