Abstract

PURPOSE:To control a print sheet and a negative sheet integrally by folding a print sheet which is printed in an array according to the length of a negative sheath which contains negative pieces along perforations which allows print images to be separated by image planes. CONSTITUTION:Perforations 4a and 4b are given on the basis of a mark 3 after print images 1 and the mark 3 are printed and developed. print sheets 2 are separated through the perforations 4a and 4b to obtain each print photograph, but when photographs are handed to a customer, the print sheet 2 is folded for every two image planes of print images 1 along perforations 4b. A negative film used for the printing is cut into negative pieces 6 to length of six image planes of negative images 5 and they are put in negative sheath and handed to the customer.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method for handling printed photographs that facilitates the management and organization of printed photographs and negative films.

[Conventional technology]

In current photo printing services, printed photos are printed from developed negative film and returned to the customer in a separated state one by one. Also,
The negative film used is cut into pieces of a certain length (for example, every 6 frames in the case of a full-size photograph taken with JIS-135 type negative film), which is then placed in a negative sheath and placed together with the printed photograph. I'm planning on returning it.

When the customer organizes the printed photos and negative pieces returned in this way, the printed photos should be pasted one by one in an album, and the negative pieces should be stored in a separately prepared negative album or in a suitable container such as a box. are doing.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, it can be troublesome to organize printed photographs and negative pieces each time they are returned from a service shop, and printed photographs that have been separated one by one may be left as they are for a certain period of time. The reality is that there are many. In addition, negative pieces are elongated and difficult to group together with printed photographs, so they are kept separate from printed photographs, and in many cases, their management tends to be uncertain.

When printed photographs and negative pieces that are left in such a state accumulate for several rolls of negative film, the printed photographs printed from different negative films may intermingle with each other, or the negative film and printed photographs may be mixed together. In addition, when printing from several negative films at once, the above-mentioned disadvantages are further exacerbated. As a result, it becomes more troublesome to organize the printed photographs in albums, and it becomes very troublesome to select a specific negative piece when reprinting at a later date.

The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned background, and
To provide a method for handling printed photographs that is easy for customers to organize and can surely maintain correspondence with negative films.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention focuses on the fact that the majority of photo printing services are so-called simultaneous printing services that use one continuous negative film as a unit, and print photos obtained from one continuous negative film as a unit. To create a print sheet in which print images are arranged and recorded in a line on continuous photographic paper without separating each sheet one by one. This print sheet I is provided with perforations so that the print image can be separated one screen at a time. The perforated print sheet is folded into a meander through the perforations, and the length of the fold is matched to the length of the negative pieces cut into predetermined lengths. Therefore, by aligning the longitudinal direction of the negative piece with the longitudinal direction of the folded print sheet, it becomes very easy to combine both of them into one unit.

Moreover, since the print sheet can be separated from the perforation to become an individual print photo, normal album organization can be carried out as before. In order to create such perforations, when printing the print image, a mark indicating the position to be perforated is imprinted, and after the photographic paper has been developed, fixed, etc., the mark is printed. Carve the perforations based on . The perforations can be made automatically by using a comb-shaped canter instead of the conventional straight tooth cutter. Furthermore, by sending the perforated printed sheet to a folding device, the folding operation can also be automated.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

〔Example〕

In FIG. 1 showing an embodiment of the present invention, a print image 1 is printed at a service size on a continuous photographic paper at regular intervals (thereby, a print sheet 2 is created.The print image 1 is They are printed one after another by a well-known photo printer, and at this time, marks 3 are printed in the margins 1a between each print image 1.The total length of this print sheet 2 is the length of the negative film used. For example, JIS-135
Types of negative film include 12 exposures, 24 exposures,
Since there are three types of 36-shot printing, there are also three types of lengths of the print sheet 2 when printing at service size.

Print image 1. After the mark 3 is printed and the development process is completed, perforations 4a and 4 are made based on the mark 3.
b is applied. If the print sheet 2 is separated through the perforations 4a + 4b, a printed photograph can be obtained one by one, but at the time of returning it to the customer, the print sheet 2 will be separated from the print image l as shown in the figure. Every two screens are folded through the perforations 4b.

On the other hand, the negative film used for printing is made into negative pieces 6 which are cut into lengths for every six frames of the negative image 5, and placed in a negative sheath 7 to be returned to the customer.

In the case of JIS-135 type negative film, the cutting length of this negative piece 6 is determined to be six full-size screens (12 half-size screens), so it is always a constant length. The length of the print sheet 2 folded as described above is approximately equal to the length of the negative piece 6, that is, the length of the negative sheath 7.

The print sheet 2 thus folded through the perforation 4b and the negative sheath 7 containing the negative piece 6 are stored in respective storage sections 8a and 8b of a case 8 made of paper, for example.
The product is then returned to the customer with its longitudinal direction matched. In this way, print sheet 2 that has been folded in a zigzag manner,
When the negative piece 6 is returned to the customer in the case 8, each print image 1 is not separated, even after the deadline has passed.
Organizing photos becomes easier. Furthermore, since the print sheet 2 is folded to match the length of the negative sheath 6, the negative piece 6 can also be stored together with the print sheet 2, allowing them to be correctly managed as one unit.

Furthermore, in the relevant part of the case 8, a title entry column 9a is added.
If a title sticker affixing frame 9b or the like is provided, the case 8 can be used as it is as a simple album, just like a magnetic tape cassette. In addition, by separating the photos from the perforations 4a and 4b, it is possible to obtain individual print photos, so it is possible to organize them by pasting them in a so-called normal album. In addition,
A bag-like item may be used instead of the case 8, and the folded print sheet 2 and negative piece 6 may be stored with their longitudinal directions aligned. In this case, the folded print sheet 2 supports the bent negative piece 6, and there is no problem in organizing the paper.

FIGS. 2 and 3 show other examples of printed sheets. FIG. 2 shows a print sheet 10 in which print images 1 are consecutively arranged in a line in the vertical direction,
A margin sheet 11 for one print screen is connected to the top of the sheet. When this print sheet 10 is folded, it is folded from the perforations 4C every three screens of the print image 1, so that the folding length β is the same as that of the negative piece 6 (see FIG. 1).

Further, the blank sheet 11 can be used, for example, as a title entry field. Since this margin sheet 11 is also an extension of the photographic paper, lines for writing titles may be printed on this margin sheet 7 during the printing process, or an appropriate title screen prepared in advance, or when a print request is made. It is also possible to imprint the photographing date and time and other information indicated by the customer.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, the print sheet 1 is created by printing the print image 1 at regular intervals.
2 is shown. As shown in the figure, a memo entry line or the like is printed in the blank space 13 between the printed images 1, so that it can be used as a memo entry field. The length of the margin portion 13 is the sum of the length of the print image 1 and the negative sheath 7 that stores negative pieces having a certain length.
It is adjusted to fit the length of. The perforations 4 are formed between the print image 1 and the margin portion 13, and the print sheet 12 is folded for each screen of the print image 1 including the white portion 13. In addition,
If a title card or the like prepared in advance is sealed at the top of the print sheet 12, it will be convenient when organizing photos.

Of course, the present invention is applicable to the blank area 1a between the printed images 1 and the blank area 13 used as a memo entry field, even if the photograph is a 4° print from a Brownie film or a print size other than the service size. It is possible to implement the same method by adjusting the width of the .

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the printed photograph handling method of the present invention, negative pieces are housed in printed sheets arranged in rows through perforations that can be separated for each screen of printed images. It is folded to match the length of the negative sheath. Therefore, the print sheet and the negative piece are combined into one unit, and can be managed as one unit. In addition, since there is a series of printed photos for each negative film, it is very easy to organize the printed photos, and you can also print each photo without using a cutter. Ordinary album organization is also possible.
