Abstract: A photographic printer for monoline printing on a photosensitive paper comprises an assembly for feeding and positioning the paper, a printing device for printing on the paper and a shearing member for shearing the paper. The feeding and positioning assembly comprises a first pair of opposed loading rollers and a second pair of opposed drawing rollers defining a paper transporting path of the photosensitive paper. At least the second pair of drawing rollers is mounted for rotation in forward and reverse directions and independently actuable in a stepwise manner. A buffer-stock chamber is disposed between the first and second pairs of rollers and is located in cooperation with the paper transporting path. A supporting member cooperates with an open end of the buffer-stock chamber to support the paper.
