CRT based film printers are used to produce slides from digital files for at least ten years. Virtually any digital file type can be printed, word docs, PPT, PDF, TIFF, JPG, GIF etc. Most systems use a high resolution CRT and colour filter wheel to output the files per colour which is captured by an automated camera with pre-focused lens. The quality is usually specified based on the number of horizontal lines that the printer uses to form the image, the best units generate 8000 scan lines, high res even for 35mm.
