ABSTRACT:
A film carrier including a cartridge in a cartridge loading section, wherein a photographic film is wound around a cartridge winding shaft; a base section for processing the photographic film at a predetermined printing position on the photographic film; a transporting mechanism for transporting the photographic film on the base section after the photographic film as been pulled from the cartridge; and a film accommodating section provided downstream from the base section, with respect to the cartridge loading section, where the photographic film is accommodated. The film accommodating section includes a guiding mechanism for guiding a leading end portion of the photographic film such that it automatically coils at a predetermined radius, and a holding mechanism for restraining the photographic film from moving in a transverse direction, wherein an inner periphery of the film accommodating section is subjected to a matte finish and Teflon coating to decrease frictional resistance between the photographic film and the inner periphery.
