ABSTRACT:
An improved printer for exposing and printing a color printing paper is disclosed. Printing operation is performed with a certain color balance properly maintained by means of a cut filter assembly comprising three cut filters of a yellow filter, magenta filter and cyan filter each of which is actuated by signals delivered from a plurality of color photo sensors. During the printing operation two light beam flux reducing filters contained in the cut filter assembly are put in use under such an operating condition that the intensity of a light beam coming up from a light source is previously magnified to a certain level so as to properly fit a negative color film which has an overexposure when a photograph is taken, wherein one of said light beam flux reducing filters is adapted to be protruded into a light beam passage prior to opening a shutter when it is found that the negative color film has a normal exposure, while the other one is adapted to be protruded into said light beam passage together with said first one at the same time when it is found that the negative color film has an underexposure. Thus quick printing is ensured with the minimized fluctuation in printing time, maintaining an excellent color balance, irrespective of the fact that the negative color film has either an overexposure or underexposure when the intended photograph has been taken.
