Claim 9:
10. A system for coating of a donor material onto a laser radiation transparent substrate, said system comprising:
a donor material applicator for applying donor material to said laser radiation transparent substrate;
a multi-pass precise donor material thickness determiner for providing a desired thickness of said donor material on said laser radiation transparent substrate and including:
a linearly displaceable blade support;
a layer thickness uniformizing blade lockably pivotably mounted onto said linearly displaceable blade support about a pivot axis, said layer thickness uniformizing blade having a straight edge, wherein the layer thickness uniformizing blade is pivotably mounted on an axle; and
a blade position maintainer operative for maintaining said straight edge at a desired separation distance from said laser radiation transparent substrate, said separation distance being uniform along said straight edge of said layer thickness uniformizing blade.
