摘要

The present invention relates to a print bonding apparatus having a bonding unit that bonds the bottom (back) surfaces of prints formed by an image forming apparatus to produce a double-sided print, an automatic bookbinding apparatus provided with this print bonding apparatus, and an image forming apparatus. The print bonding apparatus of the invention is provided with a distributing device that sequentially distributes photographic prints delivered by the image forming apparatus, and a bonding unit that disposes the bottom surfaces of two photographic prints distributed by the distributing device opposite to each other, aligns sides of the two photographic prints with each other and bonds them together. The invention provides a print bonding apparatus capable of bookbinding a photograph collection on demand, an automatic bookbinding apparatus, and an image forming apparatus.
