Abstract: Apparatus for making prints of exposed and developed film frames on discrete sheets of photographic paper and for developing the sheets has a copying station for successive exposed and developed film frames and a printing station where a discrete sheet of photographic paper receives an image of the frame at the copying station. A platform at the printing station carries a turntable which can change (when necessary) the orientation of a sheet, e.g., through 90.degree., to thus properly position a larger or smaller sheet for reception of the image. The turntable can receive sheets which are severed from different webs of unexposed photographic material, and each such web has a different width. The turntable can attract a sheet by suction during turning and/or during exposure. Such turntable can cooperate with one or more conveyors to maintain a sheet at the printing station in a predetermined plane during imaging of a film frame.

Abstract: Strips of coherent, exposed and developed film frames are advanced past, and discrete frames are placed onto, a window at a monitoring station where successive increments of the film frames are monitored by a device having photocells forming at least one row which extends transversely of the path of advancement of strips. The monitoring device is at a standstill during advancement of strips but is transported past a discrete frame at the monitoring station. Such monitoring device can ascertain the density of film frames, and its photocells generate signals which are used to image the frames onto photographic paper.

Abstract: A transparent master is mechanically sensed to detect the emulsion. The master is then advanced into a projection arrangement where a scanner scans the master point-by-point and line-by-line to generate signals containing data on the master. The signals are entered in a memory and electronically enhanced. The enhanced signals are sent to a cathode ray tube which produces a printing beam responsive to the signals. The printing beam prints an image of the master on copy material. If sensing of the emulsion indicates that the master is inverted, the image of the master is electronically inverted in the projection arrangement to thereby obtain a normal copy.
