A negative film supplying device for successively supplying a plurality of negative films to a printing device including: a guide path connected to a negative film guide path of the printing device; a negative film holding member for holding superposed negative films, including guide portions and a base portion interposed between the guide portions, both side portions of the negative films being interposed between the guide portions, and as opposing surfaces of the guide portions move away from the base portion, the opposing surfaces are inclined in directions of approaching each other, and a length of the base portion between said guide portions is smaller than a width of the negative film so that the negative films are curved into convex shapes in the negative film holding member; moving means for moving the negative film holding member by rotating the negative film holding member between a guiding position, at which the base portion of the negative film holding member is disposed on the guide path, and a withdrawn position, at which the base portion is apart from the guide path, around a rotating shaft disposed at a side of and parallel to the guide path of the negative film supplying device; a delivery roller for delivering an outermost negative film; and a conveying roller for conveying the outermost negative film delivered from the guiding position to the printing device.
