Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent effectively the printing failure to perform efficient printing by performing print simulation before photographic printing to adjust a print density and a color balance. CONSTITUTION:A disc film D to be subjected to photographic printing is set to a print simulator 10 to determine a correct exposure, a color correction quantity, ect., and data of a discriminated picture is inputted to a storage means 12 together with other print information through an input device 11. Next, printing is controlled by a controler 21 to print the picture in an automatic printing device 20. Consequently, this method is suitable for the case where plural prints of one disc film D are printed on a sheet of photographic paper two-dimensionally, and the printing failure is prevented effectively and a large quantity of pictures are processed in a high speed, and high-quality photographic prints are obtained.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] This invention relates to a method of printing photographic prints. More specifically, the present invention relates to a photographic printing method that is effective in preventing printing errors when two-dimensionally printing a plurality of printing screens of the disk film Autumn Equinox on photographic paper.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, it has been known to print multiple photographs on photographic paper in the form of a leaf, for example from Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 104918/1983. - Two to eight frames are printed on a leaf to facilitate organizing and storing photographs. On the other hand, the idea of two-dimensionally printing the entire disc film - Autumnal Equinox onto a single sheet of photographic paper was developed by the patent applicant4.
, +f Application No. 57-208660. This idea greatly changes the conventional way of thinking about photo prints, going beyond the concept of simply organizing and preserving photos, and from commemorative photos to...
It provides useful photographic prints such as sports and other consecutive photographs.

Additionally, the above concept has benefits for disc film photographic printing. That is, since the screen area of one frame of currently available diffuse films is small, if the image is printed at a magnification similar to that of a 1350-color film, the image will inevitably become rough. However, simply attempting to obtain clear prints by reducing the magnification ratio not only wastes a lot of photographic paper, but also leaves the photographic prints blank with too much blank space. Therefore, the idea of two-dimensional photo printing covers this difficulty,
Even if the magnification is small, it is considered beneficial.

In general, negative images vary widely in terms of density and color distribution, and it requires considerable skill to adjust the appropriate exposure amount and color balance, and the conventional LATD control method has a high incidence of printing errors. In particular, when printing multiple prints two-dimensionally on leaf photographic paper, if a printing error occurs in one part, unlike in the case of one print on leaf photographic paper, all the prints will be printed again. This results in a significant decrease in work efficiency.

[Purpose of the invention]

This invention has been made with attention to the above points, and it is possible to effectively avoid printing errors by performing two-dimensional printing of multiple printed images of autumnal equinox using disk film on leaf photographic paper. The purpose of this study is to clarify an efficient method for printing photographic prints that reduces loss and prevents loss.

Other objects or advantages of the invention will become apparent from the description below.

[Structure of the invention]

Embodiments of the photographic print printing method of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The method for continuing publication of photographic prints according to the present invention is carried out using the following apparatus and steps.

A. Print simulation Run the disc film D to be printed on the print simulator 10, observe the frame images, determine the appropriate exposure amount, color correction amount, etc., and input the determined image data into the order number and frame number. / to input print information such as the number of prints into the storage means 12 using the input device 11.

As the print simulator 10, (1) Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 58-9136 and No. 58-2 by the applicant of the present application;
Image observation device described in Published Patent Publication No. 1734, (2) U.S. Pat.
．． No. 209319, No. 57-209320, No. 57-
By using an image observation device that observes images using a monitor television described in the specifications of No. 209321, the Utility Model Publication No. 1987-9136, etc., it is possible to perform the image observation without the need of an expert. Image judgment work can be performed reliably and efficiently.

Note that, due to the qualitative difference in work and the need for speeding up for mass processing, it is desirable that the simulator 10 that performs image judgment and the photo printing device 2o, which will be described later, be separate types.

As the storage means 12 for storing the data of the determined image, various methods other than those described in the above-mentioned publications or specifications can be used. This is seen in print simulators and printing devices, which will be described later. Commonly considered storage means include magnetic, optical, or audio storage; one is an online system in which input data is directly input to the storage device of the printing device, and the other is a storage medium such as tape or sheet. There is something. Also,
In the latter case, there are those in which the storage body is handled separately from the disc film, and those in which the storage body is attached to the disc film and handled as an integral part. In this case, the storage body can be easily attached to and detached from the disk film,
By making it reusable, you can prevent increases in printing costs.

Furthermore, it is convenient for reprinting if a storage body is attached to a part of the bag in which the disc film is stored.

B. Photo printing Photo printing t± is performed by an automatic photo printing device in which printing is controlled according to a control device that controls printing based on the input data described above.

As the printing device 20, for example, the Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 57
208661, which has a mechanism for moving one or a combination of the negative carrier, lens, and photographic paper on the exposure axis; Disc Film - Printing of Autumn Equinox A photo printing machine j is used which is characterized by being able to print a two-dimensional screen.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since the method for printing photographic prints of the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention.In particular, it is possible to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention. It is suitable for performing in two dimensions. Therefore, according to the present invention, 1. When obtaining two-dimensional photographic prints from disc film, printing errors can be effectively prevented, high-speed and large-scale processing is possible, and high-quality photographic prints can be obtained. There is.
