Description

  The present invention relates to an album that can be created at a camera store.

  As digital cameras have become widespread, more and more stores have installed equipment for printing digital data in camera stores, which makes it possible to print digital data that has been laid out and processed with photos, illustrations, and characters on a photographic paper. It was.

  In the past, camera stores could only print one photo on standard size photographic paper. A customer at a camera store purchased a commercial album, pasted it, and saved it. However, the album was generally large and heavy, so I didn't carry it and show it to others. Moreover, although photos are a record of the growth of family and children, recent moms are busy and ask that they don't organize photos by putting them on albums.

  Due to the recent declining birthrate, the number of graduates has decreased in nursery schools, kindergartens and elementary and junior high schools, and the number of graduates in small schools has also increased to less than 10. With less than 30 people, when a camera shop or photo studio goes to such a facility and takes a photo to create a graduation album, the unit cost per student exceeds 10,000 yen, and the burden on the parents has become large .

  At camera stores, the spread of digital cameras made it impossible to sell film, and the development cost of the film disappeared, resulting in a significant drop in sales. In addition, customers have been able to print photos at home using a commercially available color printer and the like, and sales have fallen as the frequency of visits to camera stores has decreased.

  Printed paper that has been laid out with photos, illustrations, and letters laid down and then folded back and pasted back to back is used as the body part, and the output printed with inkjet paper is laminated to create a bookbinding cover It is an album that enables bookbinding using photographic paper that is sandwiched and pasted together.

  For customers, it becomes one album for each theme, and it is easy to organize it on a bookshelf etc. by writing the theme on the cover or back cover. In addition, since photos are laid out in order of time, memories such as trips and events become clear. In addition to the bookbinding cover, it is relatively light because it is made of only photographic paper without using a cardboard or other mount. By making the size small, it can be carried in a woman's handbag or bag.

  The maximum size of the printing machine installed in the camera shop is generally called 254 mm in length and 380 mm in width, but the maximum size is 254 mm in length by folding the 380 mm in the center. An album slightly smaller than 190mm A4 size can be created. If you use this to create a graduation album by using photos taken by nursery schools, kindergartens and elementary and junior high school teachers without going out from camera shops and photo studios to take pictures, you can take a business trip Expenses and subcontracting costs for creating albums are greatly reduced, and it is possible to provide high-quality graduation albums at low cost and for using photographic paper.

  For camera shops, the cost of raw materials is low and profit margins are high without taking into account the labor of hand-made, without being involved in low-price competition for standard service sizes. In addition, customers are often thankful for customers who have a well-finished product, increasing employee morale.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of photographic papers (1) on which photos are laid out and printed are valley-folded and bonded one by one back to back. The pasted product is sandwiched and bonded to a bookbinding cover in which the front cover (4), the back cover (3), and the back cover (2) are integrated.
