    Abstract: An image storage has a memory for digital image data of providers, a condition for each provider in storing the digital image being controlled in accordance with the history of use by image users. The image storage searches the memory for digital image data fulfilling a given condition set on the history of use. A type of printer suitable for individual production or another type of printer suitable for mass production is selected in accordance with the number of orders for producing prints. Printed matter such as a calendar is produced by a method comprising a step of proposing optional digital image data for selection by potential image users, accepting the selections by the potential image users, and deciding on a mass production of printed matter in accordance with the selections. The printed matter can also be produced in accordance with an individual selection of image user. The image user is informed of the total result of the selections of all the other image users to have a chance of changing its initial selection. A printed matter producing system has a container including a plurality of groups of sub-containers each keeping a plurality of sheets of print produced on one image source, respectively. The system also has a selector for selecting one sheet from a sub-container of every group, respectively, the option of the sub-container among every group being depending on an order by an image user. The selected sheets are bound into printed matter.

    Abstract: A print system receives an image file and a print order file from a customer, the image file having an image data area and an order data area. The print system copies information of the received print order file into the order data area of the received image file. The print system produces a print of the image data in the image file according to the information in the order data area of the image file. The print system has a printer capable of producing a print of a predetermined image data provided by a third party as well as that of the image data of the customer. The print system delivers to the customer the print ordered by the customer as well as the print of the predetermined image data. The print system selects a group of orders among all the orders in accordance with the destination of delivery for controlling the printer to give priority to the group of orders in producing the prints. The print system forbids the printer to produce the print of the image data of the same customer until a predetermined time. The order from the customer is made through a handy phone capable of controlling a digital camera through a wireless system.
