Abstract
A package 10 for storing and delivering rolls of photosensitive web (A) to a photoprinter has a housing 12 comprising an interior compartment 14 and a removably mounted shaft 32 for supporting the rolls of web (A) . A top wall 24 is removably mounted to the housing 12 in a light-lock relationship and includes a openable member 100 for accessing the interior compartment 14. Slot-like openings 80, in communications with the interior compartment 14, provide paths for delivering strips of photosensitive web 70 from the interior compartment 14. In another embodiment, a method for loading rolls of photosensitive web (A) into the package 10 above includes removing the shaft 32 and loading thereon the rolls of photosensitive web (A) . The shaft 32 supporting the rolls of photosensitive web (A) is then inserted into the opening 27 of the housing 12 and the top wall 24 is remounted onto the top edge 25 of housing 12.
