ABSTRACT:
When printing a frame of a film immediately after developing the film, a mini-lab photofinisher observes the frame that is positioned in a printing station of a mini-lab type printer-processor, so as to input exposure correction data as needed. While positioning the frame in the printing station, frame number bar codes recorded on the film are read to determine the number of the frame. The determined frame number is printed on the reverse of the print image made from that frame. After printing all the frames, a bill printer prints the frame numbers of the printed frames and the corresponding exposure correction data, along with the photofinishing price. When making extra prints, the necessary number of extra prints is written in the bill slip, so that the photofinisher may finish the extra prints with substantially the same quality as the original print by referring to the exposure correction data printed in the bill slip.
