Abstract
Abstract A CRT image printing apparatus for making a color print from black-and-white images displayed on a black-and-white CRT corresponding to three color monochromatic images of a color image in three color frame sequential exposure system, comprises three color filters for converting the black-and-white images corresponding to three color monochromatic images to which a color photographic paper and a color photographic film are selectively sequentially exposed, and an image signal processor for changing the black-and-white images negative to positive when the color photographic film is selected to be exposed and positive to negative when the color photographic paper is selected to be exposed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
A CRT image printing apparatus comprising: means including a black-and-white CRT for displaying black-and-white images corresponding to red, green, and blue monochromatic images of a color image sequentially for the three colors on said black-and-white CRT; means for converting said black-and-white images to three monochromatic images; means for sequentially exposing said converted monochromatic images on a color photographic paper in multiple exposure for making a print; means for sequentially exposing said converted monochromatic images on a color photographic film in multiple exposure for making a slide; means for selectively enabling said two sequential exposing means; and means for inverting said black-and-white images between negative and positive according to said selection of said two sequential exposure means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
A CRT image printing apparatus comprising: means including a black-and-white CRT for displaying black-and-white images corresponding to red, green, and blue monochromatic images of a color image sequentially for the three colors on said black-and-white CRT; means for converting said black-and-white images to three monochromatic images; means for sequentially exposing said converted monochromatic images on a color photographic paper in multiple exposure for making a print; means for sequentially exposing said converted monochromatic images on a color photographic film in multiple exposure for making a slide; means for selectively enabling said two sequential exposing means; and means for inverting said black-and-white images between negative and positive according to said selection of said two sequential exposure means.

Claim 13
Dependent Claim
149 words
A CRT image printing apparatus which comprising a black-and-white CRT for sequentially displaying black-and-white images color image to be printed; and three color filters of red, green, and blue for converting correspondingly said black-and-white images to three color monochromatic images to which a color photographic paper is exposed sequentially to make a color print, said apparatus comprising: a camera unit with a color photographic film loaded therein; a reflection mirror removably disposed between said black-and-white CRT and said color photographic paper for directing said black-and-white images toward said camera unit; filter means disposed between said reflection mirror and said color photographic film for reducing a red color component of light passing therethrough; and means for changing said black-and-white images displayed on said black-and-white CRT negative to positive when said reflection mirror is placed between said black-and-white CRT and said color photographic paper and positive to negative when removed therebetween.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
