Abstract

A photographic printing method include the steps of entering information into a storage medium as to location of each of a plurality of image frames on a negative film to be printed, entering data into said storage medium as to the desired print position of each of a selected number of said frames, and controlling a negative film transporting means and a printing paper moving means based on said information and said data to independently locate each of said selected number on said paper.

Claims

1. A photographic printing method comprising

a. entering information into a storage medium as to location of each of a plurality of image frames on a negative film to be printed;

b. entering data into said storage medium as to the desired print position of each of a selected number of said frames;

c. controlling a negative film transporting means and a printing paper moving means based on said information and said data to independently locate each of said selected number on said paper.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein there is a plurality of locations.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein said data includes the desired magnification of each of said selected number of frames.

4. A photographic printing method as claimed in claim 1, wherein a photographic image registered on a frame selected to be printed on a printing paper is changed in a different direction at an angle by means of an image rotation lens.

5. A photographic printing method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the photographic image registered on a frame selected to be printed on a printing paper is changed in the different direction at an angle by means of an image rotation lens.

6. A photographic printing method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the printing paper is two-dimensionally moved according to the format information.

7. A photographic printing method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the print magnification is changed by means of a zoom-lens.

8. A photographic printing method as claimed in claim 6, wherein a roll type of printing paper is used for the printing paper.
