Abstract

See full text

Photographic filmstrip susceptible of recording an ordered succession of image frames, which comprises in a non-image frame area thereof a photographically recorded, latent image mask bar code. The mask bar code is indicative of the intended use of the photographic film. Photofinishing machines, prior to printing the film, guide the film past an optical bar code reader in order to extract the information necessary to determine the required graphics around a print during the printing of the film, in accordance with the intended use of the film. The invention is particularly useful for use in lens-fitted photographic film packages which are customized for use in special events and/or special locations, and provides photographic prints with graphics.
