Abstract
A method and apparatus for locating and cutting individual images from a web containing a plurality of images, the web having a magnetic media capable of retaining magnetically recorded data. The apparatus comprising a reader for reading magnetically recorded data contained on the magnetic media which provides information relating to the location of the images thereon; and a mechanism responsive to the information read by the reader and for performing an operation to the web in accordance with the information.
Claims18
An apparatus for locating and cutting individual images from a web containing a plurality of images, said web having a magnetic media capable of retaining magnetically recorded data, said apparatus comprising:
- a reader for reading magnetically recorded data contained on said magnetic media of said web which provides information relating to the location of the images on said web;
- and
- means responsive to the information read by said reader and for performing an operation to said web after said plurality of images have been printed on said web in accordance with said information.
A system for processing a photosensitive web of paper containing a plurality of images, said web having a magnetic media capable of retaining magnetically recorded data, said system comprising:
- a printing device for printing images on a web of photosensitive paper, said device including means for magnetically recording information on the magnetic media on said web of paper regarding said plurality of images;
- and
- a handling device having means for reading said magnetically recorded data contained on said magnetic media which provides information relating to the images printed thereon, and means for performing a handling operation on said web in accordance with said data read by said reader.
A method for separating individual images from a web containing a plurality of images, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a web of photosensitive material having a plurality of images formed thereon, said web having a magnetic media containing information relating to the location of said individual images for allowing said individual images to be cut from said web;
- b) reading said information contained on the magnetic media on said web;
- and
- c) cutting said individual images from said web in accordance with said information.
A method for identifying the location of individual images in a web containing a plurality of images and for separating said individual images from said web, said web containing a magnetic storage media, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a plurality of images on a photosensitive web, said web containing a magnetic storage media capable of retaining informational data;
- b) providing informational data on said magnetic media which relates to the location and placement of said individual images on said web;
- c) reading said informational data from said magnetic media and determining the location of said images using said informational data;
- and
- d) cutting said individual images in accordance with said informational data.
A photographic printer for printing images onto a photosensitive material, said printer comprising:
- means for providing a plurality of images on a photosensitive web, said web having a magnetic media capable of retaining magnetically recorded data;
- means for applying informational data on a said magnetic media which provides information relating to the location of said images on said web;
- a reader for reading said informational data provided on said magnetic media;
- and
- a knife for cutting individual images from said web in accordance with said informational data read by said reader.
