Claim One:
1. Apparatus for producing a color image, comprising: a transparent material capable of storage of an image formed by an electrostatic process; an electrostatic machine for applying a plurality of electrostatic images to said transparent material; photo-sensitive material responsive to a light source, said photo-sensitive material is proximately adjacent to said transparent material having electrostatic images formed thereon; and apparatus for exposing said photo-sensitive material to said plurality of images, each of said plurality of images is superimposed on said photo-sensitive materials by radiation of an appropriate spectral profile, said photo-sensitive material is a micro-encapsulated photo-sensitive material, said color image apparatus further including an output material and a transfer device for transferring an image from said photo-sensitive material activated by said superimposed images to said output material, said transparent material is comprised of a plurality of colored sections, said colored sections acting as filters that allow a preselected bandwidth or radiation to pass through while blocking other preselected bandwidths from passing to facilitate the utilization of a single radiation source to produce a plurality of color images, said electrostatic machine includes said transparent material as part of a rotatable drum, said plurality of electrostatic images being formed on said drum without being thermally fixed to said transparent material, said micro-encapsulated photo-sensitive material can be activated by radiation with a spectral content different from the spectral content of a said color image.
