Abstract
A photographic printing apparatus in which spaced photosensitive strips are secured to an image plane on top of a housing. An imaging font having two sets of identical symbols in spaced relationship is movably carried upon the housing overlying the photosensitive strips. Light is directed through selected portions of the imaging font upon one of the strips to form a latent image, which is subsequently developed and an instantly visible image on the other strip. The instantly visible image is used by the operator to space subsequent letters or symbols as the printing proceeds.
