The apparatus includes a digitizer for inputting information denoting the location(s) of the pictorial information and the location(s) for which selected coloration is desired. The respective colors desired for reproduction of the information may be chosen from a menu of twenty-five or more colors stored in memory. In addition to an exposure source for reproducing an image of the original upon a photoconductor the apparatus also includes an illumination source for selective erase and a second illumination source which illuminates the photoconductor through a halftone screen to control the charge level on areas of a color separation image frame in accordance with the color selected to thereby effect the color which a reproduction will have.
