Abstract
A method of making a card such as a business card or greeting card on photosensitive media using images photographically recorded in successive frames on photographic film, the photographic film including a magnetic layer. The method comprises magnetically recording at an order entry station instructions in the magnetic layer instructions specifying one of the frames, a graphic location and a source of a graphic image to be placed on the graphic location, magnetically reading the instructions from the magnetic layer, fetching the graphic image from the source specified by the recorded instructions and generating a graphic light source to project the graphic image fetched from the source, and exposing at a print station one portion of the photosensitive media to the frame on the film corresponding to the frame number specified by the recorded instructions and exposing another portion of the photosensitive media to the graphic light source.
