Abstract

A print roll for use in a camera imaging system said print roll having a backing surface having a plurality of formatted postcard information printed at pre-determined intervals.

Claims

1. A print roll for use in a camera imaging system said print roll includes a backing surface having a plurality of formatted postcard information placed at pre-determined intervals.

2. The print roll as claimed in claim 1 wherein said formatted postcard information includes postage.

3. The print roll as claimed in claim 1 further including a cartridge in which the print roll is located and wherein on the external surface of said print roll there is printed information detailing the postage and/or format of postcards contained within the print roll.

4. The print roll as claimed in claim 3 wherein said printed information includes countries that postcards produced by said camera imaging system are suitable to be utilised in.

5. The print roll as claimed in claim 3 wherein said printed information includes an expiry date beyond which the postage is no longer guaranteed to be valid.

6. The print roll of claim 1 wherein said printroll is a continuous length of paper for multiple post cards.

7. A method of creating customised postcards comprising the steps of:

utilising a camera device having a print roll having a backing surface including a plurality of formatted postcard information sections placed at pre-determined positions on said backing surface;

imaging a customised image on a corresponding imaging surface of said print roll; and

utilising said print roll to produce postcards via said camera device.
