Claim One:
1. A method of printing using at least one spatial light modulator, each said modulator comprised of an array of individually addressable cells and corresponding addressing circuitry, said method comprising the steps of: a. printing lines of data, said printing step comprising the steps of: i. writing image data to said addressing circuitry of said modulator; ii. illuminating said modulator with light from a light source; iii. reflecting said light to a photosensitive media with said modulator such that said reflected light forms an image on said photosensitive media; iv. writing new data to the addressing circuitry of the entire modulator such that each line of data previously written to said addressing circuitry is written to a row of said addressing circuitry adjacent said line's previous position; b. repeating steps i. through iv. of said printing step until a predetermined region on said photosensitive media has been completely exposed; and c. repositioning said at least one modulator to expose a different region on said photosensitive media.
