The mask, which overlies the positive paper strip, includes manually movable plates for adjusting the length of the mask opening. An automatically operated marker punch is mounted upon the mask, offset from the lighted print area, and includes a replaceable thin punch blade positioned to form a narrow slot in the paper at the lead edge of each separate print, which slot is later used to actuate a cutter mechanism for cutting apart the developed prints from the positive paper strip.
