Abstract: A processor for photographic material includes a multitude of treatment tanks through which the photographic material to be treated is sequentially moved and in which photographic treatment solutions are found during operation, especially developing, bleaching, fixing and stabilizing solutions. The processor includes a refill pump and conduit system for pumping the treatment solutions and the water used from storage containers for treatment solutions and a water tank into the treatment tanks. A refill pump and a corresponding refill conduit is provided for each storage container and the water tank. A control for the refill pumps cooperates with level sensors associated with the storage containers in such a way that the refill process is stopped when one of the storage containers is empty.

Abstract: A machine (3) for developing and printing photographic material continously and automatically is composed of modules (4, 5, 6, 7) allowing easy mutual assembly and separation. The basic structure of such a machine comprises a module (4) for printing from film onto paper surmounting a print developing module (5). The print developing module is in turn positioned alongside a module (6) housing devices by which prints emerging from the developing module (5) are dried, as well as containers holding the liquids used to regenerate and replenish various chemical treatment baths. An additional module (7) for developing film can be positioned on top of the drier module (6). The print module (4) is also hinged at the bottom along one side or the outer edge of the module (5) below in such a way as to tilt clear and allow easy access to the inside of the machine (3) for the purposes of cleaning and servicing.

Abstract: A machine produces photographic color prints both from images captured on film and from digitally encoded images. A conventional machine used to make color prints from images on film is provided with a one-line cathode ray tube (7 or 7a or 7b) positioned along the path followed by a strip of light-sensitive paper (31) from a supply roll (3) to a set of chemical treatment baths (60), preceding or following a printing surface (29). A projecting head (71) of the one-line cathode ray tube generates a pencil-thin line comprising a high number of pixels in a notably broad range of colors. The single lines are emitted gradually and in ordered succession by the projecting head (71), impacting on a corresponding length of the light-sensitive paper (31) as it advances across the head, thus generating an image of high definition and chromatic fidelity directly on the light-sensitive surface.
