Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1 and an apparatus for performing this method.
  • Such methods for processing copy orders are used in particular for so-called party photography or similar order types, in which a commissioned photographer first presents the client with a set of proof or initial copies, on the basis of which the actual orders for larger quantities or formats are determined.
  • the advantage that can be achieved in this way is that information about the quantities of copying light used in the proof copy and leading to a result accepted by the customer can be stored and used again for the production of the copies that have been reordered. This results in the highest degree of agreement between the first copies and the reordered copies.
  • Such a method is e.g. B. is known from DE-PS 29 33 252, in which the exposure corrections applied to the first copy are recorded in a program carrier, which is archived together with the film roll retained as a whole and is only removed from the archive for the creation of the second copies.
  • EP-PS 0 177 857 to store the first exposure values in a magnetic memory - in particular a floppy disc - on which the values for each template are assigned to the ordinal number of the template in order to produce repetitions of unsatisfactory first copies be stored on the template strip.
  • the ordinal number of the template printed on the back of the copy is used for retrieval;
  • the ordinal number serving as an address and printed on the back of the image is required, which is available for repetitions of unsatisfactory copies, but not if the first copy is evidence of the assured quality of reorder copies remains with the client.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a method according to the preamble of claim 1, in which both first copies and the associated film strips are delivered to the customer without thereby the possibility of merging copy templates submitted for reordering and the stored copy light quantity information get lost.
  • Fig. 1, 1 denotes the film to be processed, which, for. B. comes uncut as a film of normal length from a suitable developing device or is combined by adhesive bonding with other, similar films to form a long film.
  • This film is provided at a first station 2 with a continuous data carrier strip which is glued to its edge in the perforation area by an adhesive strip or is sealed by a heat seal coating.
  • This disk strip can e.g. B. consist of paper.
  • a printing device which, in machine-readable form - in particular in barcode - prints a template number in spatial association with the copy template on the data carrier strip.
  • the number of digits for the original number that can be applied to the strip is chosen so large that the original copies to be expected within a period of at least four weeks are not given repeated numbers.
  • the printer itself is a conventional barcode printer.
  • the spatial assignment to the respective position of the image original can be easily ensured by a corresponding scanner in films with a position hole such as 110 or 126 assigned to the image position.
  • the positional assignment which is also important for the copying process, must either be made by means of photoelectric scanning devices known from the so-called notching machines on image bridges or checked by an operator.
  • Different image formats that appear on films of the same width must also be taken into account, such as half format or square format in addition to the standard 24 x 36 mm format for 35 mm film or 6 x 9, 6 x 7, 6 x 6 or 4.5 x 6 cm for the 6 cm wide films.
  • the original films provided with the tabber strip with a negative address go to a first copier 4, which has a scanner 4a on its film stage, which scans the original in areas, ie at a large number of measuring points in the three colors.
  • a larger number of originals of the same film can be measured in the partial areas before the copying process begins, and this data can be evaluated in terms of so-called density difference curves, which then optimize the amount of copying light in the three based on the specific measurement data of the respective negative Allow colors.
  • a simpler measurement can also be carried out only on the basis of the respective template, which may then be optimized on the basis of area-by-area or integral measurement, possibly with the support of the operator, by entering correction values.
  • characteristic measurands for the density values in the master copy are calculated from the specific measurement data of the negatives, e.g. B. the integral value in the three colors.
  • This measured variable can, for. B. be the integral value in the three colors in an area that extends almost over the entire template area.
  • Both the copying densities or quantities of copying light used in the creation of the first copy and the parameter are fed via a data line 4b to a copy data memory 5 which stores these exposure values of the relevant negative at the respective address.
  • an additional barcode reader is provided in the copier 4.
  • the copies made with these quantities of copying light are then fed to a processing station 6, where they are assessed for quality and corrected in the event of an unsatisfactory copying result. Necessary corrections also go to the copy data memory 5 via a correction line 6c, while the copy template can be returned to the printer 4 again in order to produce a second "first copy".
  • the correction values are entered on an input device 6b with a display monitor, while a barcode reader 6a supplies the address for storing the correction values via the line 6c in the copy data memory 5.
  • the optimized proof copies produced in this way go together with the film strip and the attached information carrier strip to the customer who, for. B. worked out in cooperation with his client the order for the repeat orders.
  • the procedure after the arrival of the reorder orders consisting of film strips with a sealed information carrier strip and precise information about the copies desired per template, including the associated format, can be seen in FIG. 2. It can happen that copies of very different formats are also desired for a template .
  • the orders are expediently sorted into groups which can be copied onto a roll on a copying machine according to the required paper bandwidth and desired surface. In the case of very different formats of a template, it may have to be fed to a printer several times.
  • the reordering orders arrive at a preparation station 7, which has a barcode reading device 7a for reading the address information of the copy data of the relevant template in the memory 5, and an input device 7b for the required number of pieces, the formats, surfaces and the order number, which, with the appropriate design, also can be read as a barcode from the order bag.
  • This order data is stored in memory 5 in association with the negative number.
  • the barcode reader pen is then integrated into the copier 4 for the reorder copies so that the operator on the copier only inserts the original, while the barcode reader reads the address information from Information carrier strip reads.
  • the desired copy format must of course be compatible with the respective copy material in the machine.
  • the copy data and order data belonging to the template are then called up from the memory 5 by the reordering printer 4 when the corresponding copy template passes the barcode reader installed there.
  • the order data can also be entered directly at the reordering printer.
  • the result of the integral density calculation is compared with the integral value stored in the data memory 5 from the measurement in the first copy printer, and any differences are used for a mathematical correction of the amounts of copy light read out from the memory 5.
  • These calculation methods for corrections are e.g. B. widely known in the calibration of printers, for. B. according to the teaching of DE-PS 29 11 566.
  • the copied light quantities corrected in this way are also entered into the memory 5 at the address of this template in the event that a second order is received.
  • the copies exposed and developed with these possibly corrected copying light quantities or copy target densities arrive at a processing station 6 ', the equipment of which corresponds to the processing station 6 according to FIG. 1 and u. U. can also be the same place.
  • the barcode reading device 6a ' present there serves primarily to read the order number and the input device 6b' serves to carry out the price formation for the entire order on the basis of the prices agreed with the client.
  • a special feature of the reordering copier 4 has not yet been described; in this point it also deviates from the printer for the first copies 4 according to FIG. 1. Details are shown in Fig. 3. To the on the one hand, with this configuration of the printer, a change in the image scale is possible, so that copy formats that differ from the first copies are possible when reordering. On the other hand, due to certain apparatus requirements, there is the possibility of deliberately imaging cutouts, even eccentric cutouts, on a paper tape 14 according to FIG. 3. For this purpose, a lens 12 with an adjustable focal length, a so-called zoom lens, is provided, which can be adjusted by a servomotor 13 in accordance with the specifications when the order is accepted at the preparation station 7.
  • a motorized rotation of the stage by a rotating device, not shown, by 90 ° also enables copies to be accommodated in a format-filling manner in the longitudinal or transverse direction on a paper tape, so that in any case two different formats are conceivable on a paper strip.
  • additional masking tapes that can be moved in the positive plane two originals can be exposed side by side in the longitudinal direction or the same template can be exposed twice on the paper tape if the transverse shift of the original table enables a shift by half the original width from the center.
  • FIG. 3 shows a film carrier 8 on which the film strip 1 with the templates 1a and the order data carrier strip 1b is attached; the master carrier 8 is mounted displaceably in the X and Y directions and can be moved in the longitudinal direction by a servomotor 10, in the transverse direction by a servomotor 9, the pinion of which engages with a corresponding toothing 11 on an intermediate plate.
  • the most Preparation place 7 data to be entered in an order data carrier then relate to the desired positive format for the longitudinal or transverse imaging by adjusting the rotation, adjusting the lens 12 for the corresponding imaging scale and finally in the case of a larger, over-format imaging of the entire template corresponding positive format going beyond the image scale for enlarging the cut-out to the corresponding lens setting.
  • the specified copy light quantities are to be corrected with so-called geometry factors which take into account the copy light intensities dependent on the image scale.
  • Such a correction is possible with simple means - based on the respective imaging scale.
  • the position of the reproduced detail must also be preselected by specifying the displacements by means of the motors 9 and 10 by sizes which can be defined in terms of coordinates. Furthermore, such a processing with an order carrier freely programmable per image offers the possibility of making series from a single template, in which images of different sizes are generated in succession.
  • the copier for the proof copies and that for the reorder copies differ significantly in the requirements.
  • the former needs the scanner and the exposure computer, the latter the variability of the image and only one device for determining the parameter, e.g. B. the scanner.
  • a device with all the equipment can be used for both purposes.
