Abstract
An image printer includes a first exposure mechanism for exposing a photosensitive material to an original image projected from a medium such as a negative film, and a second exposure mechanism for exposing the same photosensitive material to a pattern image which is to be printed on the photosensitive material external an area in which the original image is printed by the first exposure mechanism. Attribute information is detected from the medium and a corresponding pattern image is determined. Masking plates are provided to mask a part of the photosensitive material from a projected illumination of the first exposure mechanism. The masked portion of the photosensitive material is an area in which the pattern image is printed by the second exposure mechanism.
