Abstract
A photographic printing system for a photographic film stored in a cartridge with a cartridge ID. This system includes a receiving unit for receiving the cartridge storing the photographic film, the receiving unit having an information input for inputting first printing information on the photographic film as linked with the cartridge ID of the cartridge, a printer/processor unit, and an information controller for communicating, by using the cartridge ID as a key, with the receiving unit and the printer/processor unit, to control and record printing information for the cartridge ID. The printer/processor unit includes an information reader for reading second printing information recorded on the photographic film drawn out of the cartridge, and a printing processor. Third printing information is generated from partial printing information read by the information reader and partial printing information inputted by the receiving unit. The printing processor prints images of the photographic film on printing paper based on the third printing information.
