Description

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

[Conventional technology]

In current photo printing services, the print photos obtained by printing from already taken negative film are returned to the customer in a separated state one by one. Therefore, in order to organize the returned print photos, the customer must paste them one by one into an album. In addition, in order to save time on the customer's side, for example, a simple insert-holder type album is available at a service store, and each printed photo is inserted into this easy-to-use album. In some cases, there are services that return the product to the customer.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, it can be troublesome to paste and organize the completed printed photos in an album each time.
The reality is that printed photographs are often separated into individual pieces and left as they are for a certain period of time. Therefore, if the printed photographs left in such a state are accumulated for several rolls of negative film and are mixed up, it becomes very troublesome to organize them into an album.

Furthermore, when using the above-mentioned insert holder type album, the album itself is costly, and manual work is required to insert each separated printed photo into the album. However, the disadvantage is that it places a heavy burden on the service shop.

The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned background, and
To provide a method for handling printed photographs that enables a customer to return printed photographs in a state that is easy to organize without increasing the burden on a service shop.

[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 is provided with perforations between each frame of the print image. The perforations made in this way can be used for folding the print sheet, and by cutting it from the perforations, it can be used for obtaining printed photographs one by one.

To make perforations, when printing a print image from negative film onto photographic paper, mark the position where perforations will be made, and after the photographic paper has been developed, fixed, etc. Instead of the above-mentioned square tooth cutter,
This is done automatically by using a comb-like cutter, and the perforated printed sheet is sent to a folding device. The print sheet is then automatically folded through the perforation.

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 sheet 2 is created by printing a print image 1 on a continuous photographic paper at regular intervals. The print images 1 are sequentially printed by a well-known photographic printer, and at this time, marks 3 are printed in the margins 1a between the print images 1, 1, respectively. The length of this print sheet 2 corresponds to the length of the negative film used. For example, there are 3 types of JIS-135 type negative film: 12-exposure, 24-exposure, and 36-exposure, so in the case of printing in service size, there are three types of print sheet 2 lengths.

Print image 1. After the mark 3 is printed and the development process is completed, a sewing machine opening 4 is formed based on the mark 3. F through this perforation 4.

If the lint sheet 2 is separated, a printed photo can be obtained one by one, but at the time of returning it to the customer, the print sheet 2 is folded through the perforations 4 as shown in Fig. 2. It has become. In this way, the print sheet 2 folded through the perforations 4 is placed at one open end 5a of a cylindrical case 5 made of paper, for example.
It is inserted completely. The upper and lower surfaces of the case 5 are formed in a rectangular shape that covers one screen of the print image 1 including the margin 1a, and the thickness of the case 5 is such that it covers the entire thickness of the folded print sheet 2 and at the same time covers the entire thickness of the folded print sheet 2. , is set to such an extent that the printed sheet 2 once stored in the case 5 will not easily fall off, and the folded printed sheet 2 is stored so as to be surrounded by the case 5.

In this way, when the folded print sheet 2 is returned to the customer while being stored in the case 5, the individual print images 1 are not separated into pieces, so it becomes very easy to organize them. If a title entry field 5b, a title sticker pasting frame 5C, etc. are provided in the required parts of the case 5, the case 5 can be used as a simple album, just like a magnetic tape. Also, print each print image 1 at perforation 4.
Since it can be separated from the album, it is also possible to organize it by attaching it to a so-called normal album.

3 and 4 show other embodiments of the invention. FIG. 3 shows a print sheet 6 in which print images 1 are consecutively arranged in a line in the vertical direction, and a margin sheet 7 corresponding to one print screen is connected to the top of the print sheet 6. This blank sheet 7 can be used, for example, as a title entry field. Also, since this margin sheet 7 is an extension of the photographic paper, during the printing process, an appropriate title screen prepared in advance on this margin sheet 7, or the shooting date and time indicated by the customer at the time of print request, etc. It is also possible to print information etc. It should be noted that the perforations 4 are provided not only between adjacent print images 1 as in the previous embodiment, but also between the margin sheet 7 and the first print image 1. in this way,
If a title or the like is added to the beginning of the series of print sheets 6, or if a memorandum or the like can be easily written, it will be more convenient when organizing the printed photos.

The example in FIG. 4 shows a print sheet 8 created by printing one screen of the print screen at regular intervals. As shown in the figure, a memo field 9 is also printed in the blank space between the print images 1.

Therefore, the customer can use the memo field 9 to enter required information on each print screen.

In this case, perforation 4 is printed image 1 and memo field 9.
It is carried out between. In addition, a margin sheet 10 that can be easily sealed is prepared at the beginning of the print sheet 8,
You can use this as a title entry field, or use it as a margin sheet 1.
Instead of 0, a preprinted title sheet or the like may be sealed at the top of the print sheet 8.

Of course, the present invention is equally applicable to printed photographs from Brownie films and to prints of sizes other than service sizes. Further, the position at which the print sheet 2 is folded may not only be folded every screen of the print image 1, but may be folded every two screens, for example.

Furthermore, in order to accommodate the folded printed sheet 2, not only the above-mentioned cylindrical case 5 but also a bandage, a bag, etc. may be used.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the method for handling printed photographs of the present invention, print sheets printed in rows are handled in a folded state through separable perforations, and the sheets are folded in this form. I am trying to return it to the customer. Therefore, the customer can handle the print photos collectively for each series of negative films, making it very easy to organize the print photos. Also, since you can print each photo without using a cutter or the like, you can easily organize the photos in a general album. Furthermore, on the service shop side, since there is a series of printed photos for each negative film, they can deliver the printed photos to the customer as a simple album just by using a simple case, which causes a cost burden. There is no.
