ABSTRACT:
A system for matching the envelope, film, and prints that make up a photographic processing order includes a method of identifying the film with a particular customer. The method includes the steps of reading a preprinted bar code from the customer envelope, printing that bar code on a segment of a continuous stock of splice tape, and then using that segment of splice tape to join the identified film to other films to form a continuous reel. The bar code from the film can be read after processing and matched to the envelope bearing the same bar code. An additional step includes encoding at least a portion of the identifying code on the prints made from the film in order to provide a three-way match. A splice tape printer to carry out the method includes a print head that is capable of simultaneously printing a bar code number and a human-readable number on the tape segment.
