Abstract

A print system comprising an acquisition device for acquiring identifying information, a memory in which the identifying information acquired by the acquisition device and information about image processing performed to produce a print reproducing image in each of a plurality of frames recorded on film are stored in corresponding relationship with one other, and a condition setting device which sets image processing conditions based on a recorded image when producing an original print, and which retrieves, from the memory, information about image processing which corresponds to the identifying information when producing a re-print of the recorded image, setting image processing conditions for the re-print which are identical to those used for the original print. This print system provides re-prints which feature consistent reproduction of an image having the same color and density as the image produced in the original (or previous) printing, providing re-prints which fully meet a customer's request and which can be output in a satisfactory manner.
