Abstract
A photographic printer effects a second printing operation for one original frame (60) on a developed photo film (10), after a first printing operation is effected. First correcting information is used in the first printing operation for correcting an exposure amount of the original frame. To produce a photographic print, first and second equipment information is predetermined, which is associated respectively with the first and second printing operations. The first and second equipment information represents an ID of each photographic printer for effecting the first and second printing operation, or represents an ID of a printer group to which each printer belongs. The first correcting information of the original frame and the first equipment information is written to a magnetic recording layer (10c) in the first printing operation. The magnetic recording layer is formed on the photo film. The first correcting information of the original frame and the first equipment information is read from the magnetic recording layer before the second printing operation. It is determined whether the first equipment information coincides with the second equipment information. If the first equipment information coincides with the second equipment information, then the second printing operation of the original frame is effected by use of the first correcting information.
