NOTE: High end Lasergraphics film recorders can image up to 16384x13448 dots. This is called 16000-line resolution. Some camera backs have a different aspect ratio that enables the film recorder to output at higher vertical resolution like 4096x3362. This is still called 4000-line resolution.

Color Fidelity

Color fidelity refers to the range of colors that can be reproduced in an image.

The range of colors that can be represented is defined by the number of bits per pixel used to store an image. The more bits per pixel, the greater the range of colors.

Windows BLL Generator supports 24-bits per pixel, 8 for each of red, green, and blue. This results in 256 shades of each primary color, which can combine to form 16.7 million colors. Each pixel in an image can be a different color.
