After the film is processed it is cut from the leader card and reunited with the processing envelope containing the customer details, and then from here the film goes forward for printing.A minilab is typically a Roller Transport processor, where the film follows a serpentine path over many rollers. The film goes through a developer, bleach, fix and stabilizer, then through a dryer. The leader card(s) is/are then inserted into the film processor and are fed through the machine using sprockets in the card.
Films are spliced on the leader cards one or two at a time, to do this the end of the film is cut square, special chemical-resistant tape is used to attach the film to the leader card. A twin check number (a pair of stickers with a unique number) is put onto the film and the matching number onto the film processing envelope, so that after processing this film can be easily identified to the customers envelope.
In cases when the end of the film cannot be removed or if the film is damaged, the film can be removed using a dark bag or a dark box. This can be done manually or by using a small machine that essentially uses tape to pull the film leader out of the cassette. In addition, some digital minilabs are also equipped with photo-ordering kiosks.Contents1 Film processor2 Photo printer3 Industry changes4 Digital minilab5 Dry minilab6 See also7 References8 External linksFilm processor35 mm films are pulled, this means the end of the film is extracted from cassette. In some installations, these two components are integrated into a single machine. Using these chemical processes films can be ready for collection in as little as 20 minutes, depending on the machine capabilities and the operator.A typical minilab consists of two machines, a film processor and a paper printer/processor. This means that the larger labs capable of processing 30 or 40 thousand films a day are going out of business, and more retailers are installing minilabs.In Kodak and Agfa minilabs, films are processed using C41b chemistry and the paper is processed using RA-4. Many retail stores use film or digital minilabs to provide on-site photo finishing services.With the increase in popularity of digital photography, the demand for film development has decreased.
