Introduction to film recorders for computer-generated slide production.
The photographic method of recording computer graphics is now very much an automated procedure using film recorders, as compared with the old technique of photographing directly off the coloured video display.

Theoretical and practical information is given on each of these recorders based on the author's practical experience.
