Color photographic processing method and apparatus

摘要

A color photographic processing apparatus in which a color film processing apparatus, a printer and a color paper processing apparatus are installed in a casing is provided. The sum of a length of a path from an entrance of a developing tank to a discharge port of a drying station of the color film processing apparatus and a length of a path from an entrance of a developing tank to a discharge port of a drying station of the color paper processing apparatus is in the range of 950 mm to 10,000 mm. The time from insertion of a film into the color film processing apparatus to discharge of 25th print is less than 10 minutes. The values of the ratio given by the following equation are from 120 to 330 for the color film, and from 20 to 120 for the color paper; length of path (mm)/conveying speed (mm/sec.).
