1. A method of photofinishing processing characterized by:
- making a sequential series of labeled photographic prints from a continuous web of photographic paper, each print having a print image portion and an adjacent label image portion;
generating a label image on each said label image portion by exposing labeling information thereon;
generating a print image on each said print image portion by exposing an image thereon;
forming a line of perforation between each said print image portion and the adjacent label image portion; and
separating said labeled prints by cutting the web between the prints;
whereby a sequential series of cut edged prints is formed, each with a label attached along said line of perforation and capable of being read from the image side of the print, or being folded back along the line of perforation to be read from the non-image side of the print, or being detached for use or mounting in any other desired manner.

Abstract
A method of labeling photographic paper during photofinishing processing includes making a print having a print image portion and an adjacent label image portion, placing a code on the photographic paper to denote placement of a line of perforation to separate the print image portion and label image portion, exposing the label image portion with labeling information, generating an image on the label image portion, detecting the code for placing the line of perforation on the photographic paper, and forming the line of perforation at the detected location to separate the print image portion and the label image portion.
