Description

Manufacturing method of ultra-thin commemorative album {Manufacturing method of album}

The present invention has no discoloration of the image due to the use of the adhesive, it is easier to turn over the bookshelf (장 張) compared to the conventional album, can also contain a panoramic photograph image as it is, in particular, the thickness of the album is very thin and light weight The present invention relates to a method for producing an ultra-thin commemorative album and an album made according to such a method.

Albums made for the purpose of preserving them for a long time to prevent damage and loss of the photos are generally composed of an album cover covered with a transparent vinyl cover for attaching and detaching photos. However, such a typical album has the disadvantage that the adhesive applied to both sides of the album paste will bleed into the photo attached to the album mount and discolor the photograph over time. In addition, by attaching photos to both sides of a relatively thick album mount, there is a disadvantage that the volume of the album becomes large. In addition, a shallow groove-like smile is formed at an inner point 3 cm to 5 cm from one edge of the album mount so that the album can be easily opened, but the smile is still stiff and without using both hands. Cannot easily turn the pages. Also, if the photo was larger than the album, you couldn't attach it to the album art and store it, or you would have to collect these photos separately or buy a larger album to organize them.

In order to solve the problem of turning over the bookshelf of the conventional album, the album (the album sheet) to which the photos are attached and the binding sheet for binding are separately made and arranged at a slight interval, and then the album where the gap is connected by elastic vinyl or leather is released. It was proposed as Utility Model No. 92-21199. However, even with such an album, the problem of discoloration of the photo by the adhesive and the problem of bulky albums could not be solved.

The present invention requires the following three technical features to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems.

1) Adhesive removal technology to prevent photo discoloration.

2) Technology to reduce the thickness of the micro parts and to reduce the thickness of the whole album for smoothing the bookshelf turning.

3) Photo editing technology for storing photos larger than album.

The present invention seeks to solve the above-mentioned technical problem by applying an image editing technique using a computer and an album production technique upgraded from the Korean Utility Model No. 92-21199.

Starting from this point of view, the present invention provides a method for producing an album, for example, an original image data preparation step of digitizing an original image for album production; An image editing step of correcting the original image digitized in the preparation of the original image data with a graphic tool (program) on a computer, compositing with another original image, or performing both correction and synthesis to format the edited image; An image output step of outputting the edited image formed in the image editing step on a print medium through a printer; A print album manufacturing step of collecting the printed print media discharged from the printer in the image output step and integrating the printed print media and the binding binder for binding at regular intervals and coating them with a film; A bookbinding step of collecting a plurality of print albums made in the print album production step and binding them into an album; Characterized in that comprises a. (Claim 1)

Preferably, in the image output step, different edited images are printed on both sides of the print medium. (Claim 2)

In addition, preferably, when the bookbinding finished album is opened, edited images printed on the surfaces of both printed albums that are opened are bound to form one integrated wide format image. (Claim 3)

On the other hand, in the ultra-thin commemorative album to be provided by the present invention, each printing medium with the image printed on both sides is arranged one by one for each film for coating, and the coating film at intervals from one side of the print medium One binding binding paper is arranged for each sheet, and the printing media, the binding paper, and the coating film are heat-bonded to make a plurality of printing albums, and then the plurality of printing albums produced in this way are integrated around the binding paper. It is characterized by being bound. (Claim 4)

The original image may be provided in the form of tangible or intangible. Examples of tangible objects include pictures such as black and white photographs, color photographs, or portraits. Examples of intangibles include digital photographic images taken with a digital camera or various graphic images downloaded from the Internet.

If the original image is provided in the form of intangibles, the original image does not need to be digitized separately.However, if the original image is provided in the form of tangible objects, it must be digitized so that the computer can perform graphic work in the editing step described later. do.

Here, the digitization of the original image in tangible form can be easily achieved by, for example, a scanning operation by a scanner. Such digitization work can be done by an offline professional photo studio or an internet photo company, or an individual requesting an album production to such a professional photo studio or an internet photo company can be done in advance in his or her home or office.

Examples of graphic tools (programs) that can be used during the editing phase include Photoshop or Paint Shop.

Correction for the digitized original image can be divided into shape correction and color correction. The shape correction is a series of items that, when physically torn or partially separated from the original image provided as a tangible form, compensates for the damaged portion by graphic processing, or deletes the unwanted part of the original image at the request of the album's client. It is called work. In this regard, color correction refers to a process of restoring faded portions to original colors or converting black and white images to color images.

Synthesis of a digitized original image refers to a series of works that create at least two different images using at least two digitized original images.

The edited image obtained through the above work process is printed on the print medium through a printer, and it is preferable to use a photo paper (particularly an RC photo paper) as the print medium.

Also, printing on photo paper may be performed on both sides of the photo paper. If the edited image to be printed is a wide format image such as a panoramic photo image, only half of the edited image may be printed on each of the two photo papers. Can be.

However, even when the edited image is printed in half as described above, depending on the form of binding, for example, one unified image can be realized when the produced album is opened.

The bookbinding binding paper may be the same material as the printing medium or a completely different material, and the thickness thereof may be the same as or different from that of the printing medium. However, in consideration of the bound state of the album, the thickness of the binding paper is preferably slightly thinner than that of the print medium.

It is preferable that the width of the binding paper is about 3 cm to 5 cm, and the length of the binding paper is preferably equal to the length of the printing medium or the length of the paper.

Transparent and tough synthetic resin film may be used as the coating film.

The printing medium, the binding paper, and the coating film on which at least one side of the printing image is preferably printed on both sides are integrated into a printing album by, for example, heat-pressing through a conventional heat-pressing roller device. Printed albums are similar in form compared to the photographs attached to a normal adhesive album sheet, but only about one photo in thickness. Therefore, the ultra-thin album of the present invention which collected and bound such a print album is thinner than any album of the conventional method.

According to the present invention constituted as described above, since the original image to be made into an album is edited and printed on a print medium, the use of an adhesive for attaching a photo can be completely excluded. In addition, since the minute portion between the print medium and the binding paper is composed of an extremely thin film, bookshelf turning can be made very easily. In addition, since the print medium itself serves as an album mount to which a photo is attached, the entire thickness of the album may be significantly thinner than in the prior art. In addition, according to the form of outputting the edited image, it is possible to easily implement the panorama picture image on the album. In addition, by coating the print medium on which the edited image is printed with a film, damage and contamination of the edited image can be prevented and stored for a long time.

Hereinafter, the features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description based on the accompanying drawings. Prior to this, the terms or words used in the present specification and claims are based on the principle that the inventor can appropriately define the concept of terms in order to explain the invention in his best manner, It should be interpreted as meanings and concepts that correspond to technical ideas. Therefore, this invention is not limited to the Example mentioned later.

1 is a perspective view showing an unfolded ultra-thin commemorative album according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 shows the configuration of a printing album used in the ultra-thin commemorative album, Figure 3 is an ultra-thin commemorative album of the present invention The manufacturing process is shown.

As shown in these figures, the ultra-thin commemorative album of this embodiment is produced through a five-step process.

First, scan the photos you want to make into albums or save the photo (image) data stored in the digital camera's memory to your computer (preparing the original data).

Then, run the Photoshop program on your computer, import the original data into the program, and edit the image in a format suitable for printing.

The edited image, i.e., the edited image, is printed on both sides of the photo paper 11 through a photo printer, and separately stored in the computer hard disk. The edited images stored in the hard disk may be stored in a removable storage medium or CD or provided with the album to the album production client.

The photo paper 11 having double-sided printing is suitably disposed on the transparent film 13 together with the binding paper 12 and manufactured into one printing album 10 through heat compression.

FIG. 2 shows the shape of the printing album 10. The thin film 13 is integrated so that the photo paper 11 and the binding paper 12 are not separated from each other, and between the photo paper and the binding paper. It can be seen that the laid film portions are thermally bonded to each other. Since the portions bonded to each other by the films correspond to the minute portions, the bookshelf turning becomes easier when the bookbinding finished album is opened.

On the other hand, if the number of print albums 10 are produced, the entire work process is completed by collecting the print albums and binding them in the form of an album as shown in FIG.

1 is an expanded state of the ultra-thin commemorative album according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 2 is a block diagram of a printed album used in the production of the ultra-thin commemorative album of FIG.

Figure 3 is a production process of the ultra-thin commemorative album shown in FIG.
