Method of and apparatus for making prints.
A method and an apparatus for making prints from a photographic film (18) with DX codes including start and end bits in association with frames in which the photographic film is intermittently moved in one lengthwise direction by a pulse motor (23) so as to place the photographic film in an exposure position frame by frame in an inspection process. If a frame is incorrectively placed in the exposure position, the pulse motor (23) is finely controlled to rotate for correctively positioning the frame. In the inspection process, the information marks are counted before a frame reaches the exposure position and drive pulses applied to the pulse motor after the information mark of the frame is detected are also counted. These counted values are memorized as position data for the frame in a memory. In a printing process, the photographic film is moved either in the same or the opposite direction to automatically, accurately place each frame to be printed in the exposure position by controlling the pulse motor based on the position data for the frame retrieved from the memory.
