Abstract
An automatic self-service installation for printing photographs stored in digital form includes a digital medium reader for reading and retrieving digital data from stored image(s) which a user wishes to restore on a paper print. A central processing unit manages the installation and permits interaction with a user. An interacting device, actuatable by the user allows user selection of image(s) within the digital medium for printing, and production of the image(s) on paper medium. An exposure system for the selected image(s) is associated with a facility for storing and moving a photosensitive paper. A chemical treatment unit includes developing baths and a facility for automatic transfer of developed photosensitive paper into the baths. The installation also includes a facility for drying paper print(s) obtained after printing and a receptacle for storing and permitting removal of the produced print(s).
