Abstract
Apparatus for capturing and printing images on photosensitive sheets, includes a camera for electronically storing an image of a subject and having a display for displaying such stored image. A printer includes light tight storage arrangement for receiving a stack of photosensitive sheets and receives an inserted camera to interconnect such camera to the printer and open a light tight optical path between the photosensitive sheets and the electronic camera display. After the camera is inserted into the printer, exposure takes place along the light tight optical path to a photographic surface of a sheet with an image from the electronic camera display.
