Abstract
A boundary display device is used in a photographic printer performing so-called division-printing by which partial prints are produced from an image frame of a negative film to construct a composite greatly-enlarged print. The boundary display device comprises a transparent plate and lines which represent the boundaries of areas into which a scene of a film frame is nominally divided. The transparent plate is placed in an opening of a film carrier of the printer so as to view how the scene is divided prior to the division-printing. Based on the viewing, the position of the film in the opening is moved slightly if necessary.

A boundary display device for a photographic printer which has a carrier holding an original and performs division-printing in which the original is nominally divided into a plurality of areas to make a plurality of enlarged partial prints from the original, each of enlarged partial prints corresponding to one area of the nominally divided original, and the carrier having an opening for exposure of division-printing, comprising:
- a transparent plate placeable on the original;
- and
- a plurality of lines provided on said transparent plate which represent boundaries of the areas.
