Prior to the advent of phototypesetting, mass-market typesetting typically employed <a href="/wiki/Hot_metal_typesetting" title="Hot metal typesetting">hot metal typesetting</a> – an improvement introduced in the late 19th century to the letterpress printing technique that offered greatly improved typesetting speed and efficiency compared to manual typesetting (where every <a href="/wiki/Sort_(typesetting)" title="Sort (typesetting)">sort</a> had to be set by hand). The major advancement presented by phototypesetting over hot metal typesetting was the elimination of the metal type altogether which was not needed by the offset printing process. This cold-type technology could also be used in office environments where hot-metal machines (the <a href="/wiki/Linotype_machine" title="Linotype machine">Linotype</a>, <a href="/wiki/Intertype_Corporation" title="Intertype Corporation">Intertype</a> or <a href="/wiki/Monotype_System" class="mw-redirect" title="Monotype System">Monotype</a>) could not.

Early CRT phototypesetters, such as Linotype's Linotron 1010 from 1966, used the same type of film negative for the font source as traditional optical phototypesetters did, but by instead scanning the font negative via a <a href="/wiki/Flying_spot_scanner" class="mw-redirect" title="Flying spot scanner">flying spot scanner</a> array to a video signal, which was then displayed on the CRT to be exposed to the photographic paper or film. Later CRT phototypesetters used high-resolution digitized font data stored in a <a href="/wiki/Frame_buffer" class="mw-redirect" title="Frame buffer">frame buffer</a> which was used to render the font characters directly to the CRT. </p><p>Alphanumeric Corporation (later Autologic) produced the APS series. <a href="/wiki/Rudolf_Hell" title="Rudolf Hell">Rudolf Hell</a> developed the Digiset machine in Germany.

One model, the Compugraphic Compuwriter, uses a filmstrip wrapped around a drum that rotates at several hundred revolutions per minute. The filmstrip contains two fonts (a Roman and a bold or a Roman and an Italic) in one point size. To get different-sized fonts, the typesetter loads a different font strip or uses a 2x magnifying lens built into the machine, which doubles the size of font. The CompuWriter II automated the lens switch and let the operator use multiple settings. Other manufacturers of photo compositing machines include <a href="/w/index.php?title=Alphatype&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Alphatype (page does not exist)">Alphatype</a>, Varityper, <a href="/wiki/Mergenthaler_Linotype_Company" title="Mergenthaler Linotype Company">Mergenthaler</a>, <a href="/wiki/Information_International,_Inc." title="Information International, Inc.">Autologic</a>, <a href="/wiki/Berthold_(company)" class="mw-redirect" title="Berthold (company)">Berthold</a>, <a href="/wiki/Dymo" class="mw-redirect" title="Dymo">Dymo</a>, <a href="/wiki/Harris_Corporation" title="Harris Corporation">Harris</a> (formerly Linotype's competitor "Intertype"), <a href="/wiki/Monotype_Corporation" class="mw-redirect" title="Monotype Corporation">Monotype</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Star/Photon&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Star/Photon (page does not exist)">Star/Photon</a>, <a href="/wiki/Singer_Corporation" title="Singer Corporation">Graphic Systems Inc.</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Hell_AG&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Hell AG (page does not exist)">Hell AG</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=MGD_Graphic_Systems&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="MGD Graphic Systems (page does not exist)">MGD Graphic Systems</a>, and <a href="/wiki/American_Type_Founders" title="American Type Founders">American Type Founders</a>. </p><p>Released in 1975, the Compuwriter IV holds two filmstrips, each holding four fonts (usually Roman, Italic, bold, and bold Italic). It also has a lens turret which has eight lenses giving different point sizes from the font, generally 8 or 12 sizes, depending on the model. Low-range models offer sizes from 6- to 36-point, while the high-range models go to 72-point. The Compugraphic EditWriter series took the Compuwriter IV configuration and added <a href="/wiki/Floppy_disk" title="Floppy disk">floppy disk</a> storage on an 8-inch, 320 KB disk. This allows the typesetter to make changes and corrections without rekeying. A <a href="/wiki/CRT_screen" class="mw-redirect" title="CRT screen">CRT screen</a> lets the user view typesetting codes and text. </p><p>Because early generations of phototypesetters could not change text size and font easily, many composing rooms and print shops had special machines designed to set display type or headlines. One such model is the <a href="/w/index.php?title=PhotoTypositor&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="PhotoTypositor (page does not exist)">PhotoTypositor</a>, manufactured by <a href="/w/index.php?title=Visual_Graphics_Corporation&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Visual Graphics Corporation (page does not exist)">Visual Graphics Corporation</a>, which lets the user position each letter visually and thus retain complete control over <a href="/wiki/Kerning" title="Kerning">kerning</a>. Compugraphic's model 7200 uses the "strobe-through-a-filmstrip-through-a-lens" technology to expose letters and characters onto a 35mm strip of phototypesetting paper that is then developed by a photo processor. The 7200 is a headliner machine that read the character width from the filmstrip as the character is flashed onto the photographic paper so the unit knows how many motor pulses to move the paper. The most common unit was a low-range unit that went up to 72 points but there was also a high-range unit that went to 120 points. </p><p>Some later phototypesetters utilize a CRT to project the image of letters onto the photographic paper. This creates a sharper image, adds some flexibility in manipulating the type, and creates the ability to offer a continuous range of point sizes by eliminating film media and lenses. The Compugraphic MCS (Modular Composition System) with the 8400 typesetter is an example of a CRT phototypesetter. This machine loads digital fonts into memory from an 8-inch floppy disk. There was a dual floppy which could also be used with a 1 or 2 hard disk option. Additionally, the 8400 is able to set type-in point sizes between 5- and 120-point in 1/2-point increments. Type width could be adjusted independently of size. It had a movable CRT that covered a rectangle about 200 x 200 points and it would set all the characters in that rectangle before it moved the CRT or the paper. Common characters would still be in memory from the previous moves. It would set all the "e" and "t" then go to the next letter while it was decoding any characters it did not have in memory. If there was a size, width or font change the characters would have to be recalculated. It is extremely fast and was one of the first low-cost output systems. The 8400 used up to 12-inch photographic paper and could set camera-ready output. It was a cost reduced version of the 8600 which was faster. The 8600 came standard CRT width of 45 picas and wide width of 68 picas. The 8600 had much more computing power than the 8400 but did not have the memory to store a lot of characters so they were decoded on the fly. The unit would set the characters line at a time as long as they fit on the CRT. Small type may be set 6 to 8 lines before the photo paper was advanced. The paper advance was much faster than the 8400 CRT move or 8400 paper advance. All the fonts were stored on a hard disk. 8600 was a big step forward from the Video Setters which ended with the Video Setter V. Video setter was much like a closed circuit TV system that looked at a character on a glass grid, read its width and then scanned the character onto the photographic paper. The scan rate on the paper was fixed but the scan rate from the grid was changed to account for character size. If the vertical scan from the grid was slowed the character on the paper would be larger. Video Setters were almost all newspaper machines and limited to 45 picas wide with a maximum character size of 72 pints. It was a lot slower than the 8600. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Fotothek_df_n-35_0000065_Facharbeiter_f%C3%BCr_Satztechnik.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Fotothek_df_n-35_0000065_Facharbeiter_f%C3%BCr_Satztechnik.jpg/220px-Fotothek_df_n-35_0000065_Facharbeiter_f%C3%BCr_Satztechnik.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="221" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Fotothek_df_n-35_0000065_Facharbeiter_f%C3%BCr_Satztechnik.jpg/330px-Fotothek_df_n-35_0000065_Facharbeiter_f%C3%BCr_Satztechnik.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Fotothek_df_n-35_0000065_Facharbeiter_f%C3%BCr_Satztechnik.jpg/440px-Fotothek_df_n-35_0000065_Facharbeiter_f%C3%BCr_Satztechnik.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1594" data-file-height="1600" /></a><figcaption>A Linotron 505 CRT phototypesetting machine in <a href="/wiki/Dresden" title="Dresden">Dresden</a> in 1983</figcaption></figure> <p>For a fast typesetter at the time, the APS 5 from AutoLogic was hard to beat. It had a 64-speed paper advance and did not stop to set type. It figured what needed to be set in a band of data and matched the electronic advance to the mechanical advance. If there were parts of a character that were not included in the band of printing it would be printed in the next band or the band after that. The printing scan rate had to be held constant to prevent overexposing or underexposing the type. White space was not scanned but the beam would jump to the next black position. If it was working on a narrow column the paper speed was faster and if it was on a wide set of columns the paper speed was decreased With this technology characters larger than the CRT imaging area were printed. It would print about 4000 newspaper column lines per minute whether it was 1 column at 4000 lines or 4 columns at 1000 lines each. </p><p>As phototypesetting machines matured as a technology in the 1970s, more efficient methods were found for creating and subsequently editing text intended for the printed page. Previously, hot-metal typesetting equipment had incorporated a built-in keyboard, such that the machine operator would create both the original text and the medium (lead type slugs) that would create the printed page. Subsequent editing of this copy required that the entire process be repeated. The operator would re-keyboard some or all of the original text, incorporating the corrections and new material into the original draft. </p><p>CRT-based editing terminals, which can work compatibly with a variety of phototypesetting machines, were a major technical innovation in this regard. Keyboarding the original text on a CRT screen, with easy-to-use editing commands, is faster than keyboarding on a Linotype machine. Storing the text magnetically for easy retrieval and subsequent editing also saves time. </p><p>An early developer of CRT-based editing terminals for photocomposition machines was <a href="/w/index.php?title=Omnitext&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Omnitext (page does not exist)">Omnitext</a> of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
