ABSTRACT:
An integrated photographic processing system is equipped with a series of processing stations that are all arranged inside a shared housing. These include an input station for undeveloped, exposed roll film, e.g., miniature film coiled in film magazines. In this input station the inserted roll films are uncoiled and fed into a film conveyance system of an adjacent film processor. In the film processor, the photographic films are developed. At the output of the film processor, a projection printer is arranged for image-by-image exposure onto photographic paper of negatives contained on the developed film. The projection printer is equipped with its own conveyance system for the developed film. Finally, there are also a paper processor for developing the exposed photographic paper, and output stations for the developed film and the developed paper images. Between the output of the film processor and the projection printer, an intermediate storage is arranged for developed individual films; this storage is equipped with an automatic conveyance device for transferring the developed individual films to a film stage of the projection printer, and this conveyance device can be operated independently of the conveyance systems of the film processor and the projection printer. In an operating procedure according to the invention, the developed films are completely removed from the film conveyance system of the film processor before further processing and are deposited in the intermediate storage. From there, they are then advanced by the automatic conveyance device of the intermediate storage to the projection printer.
