A compact full color hard copy system using vacuum fluorescent tube and instant color film has been developed. In this system, Polaroid AUTO FILM is used as recording material, and the color vacuum fluorescent print head (C-VFPH) with Red, Green, and Blue filters is used as light sources.In this paper, first, printer construction and print head are described, and then the color reproduction characteristics of the system is measured and compared with the other printing systems.
