Abstract
A photo-printing apparatus is provided which includes a projection exposure device for projection-exposing an image formed on a film, digital exposure device for exposing a digital image, a reader for reading print size data and image data of one roll of film, and a controller for calculating a digital exposure position on the basis of the print size data and image data read by the reader and conveying a photosensitive material to the digital exposure position, whereby a series of printing operations of the projection exposure device is achieved in parallel with a series of digital printing operations of the digital exposure device.
Claims6
A photo-printing apparatus comprising:
- projection exposure means for projection-exposing an image formed on a film,
- digital exposure means for exposing a digital image,
- reader means for reading print size data and image data of one roll of film, and
- control means for calculating a digital exposure position on the basis of the print size data and image data read by the reader means, for conveying a first part of a continuous photosensitive material to a projection exposure position and a second part of the continuous photosensitive material to a digital exposure position, and for controlling printing operations of the projection exposure means to the first part of the continuous photosensitive material at the projection exposure position simultaneously with controlling printing operations of the digital exposure means to the second part of the continuous photosensitive material at the digital exposure position.
A photo-printing apparatus comprising:
- projection exposure means for projection-exposing an image formed on a film,
- digital exposure means for exposing a digital image,
- reader means for reading print size data and image data of one roll of film, and
- control means for calculating a digital exposure position on the basis of the print size data and image data read by the reader means, for conveying a first part of a continuous photosensitive material to a projection exposure position and a second part of the continuous photosensitive material to a digital exposure position, and for controlling said projection exposure means to expose the first part of the continuous photosensitive material at the projection exposure position simultaneously with controlling said digital exposure means to expose the second part of the continuous photosensitive material at the digital exposure position.
