Abstract

An improved photographic print stacking tray device includes a print tray concavely bowed transversely to the direction of travel and a central deflector. As the individual photographic prints are discharged from a conveying line onto the print tray, the central deflector pushes the central portion of each print downwardly while the side edge portions of each print are deflected upward by the print tray so that each print is bowed, thereby giving each print greater beam strength in the direction of travel.
