    摘要: A method of providing photoprocessing services utilizes a packaging system in which photoprocessing solutions are distributed from a source of manufacture to a photofinishing site. The packaging system includes a rigid or semi-rigid outer container and at least one internal container. The internal container includes the processing solution, and can be made of a rigid or flexible material. The internal container may be separable from the outer container or may be in the form of an internal compartment that is integral with the outer container. As an option, the outer container can house a further container that is designed to collect waste or spent solution from the photoprocessing site. With the system of the present invention, a designated supplier entity can follow the packaging system through an entire usage cycle of the system.

    摘要: The present invention provides for a processing system and method of operating a photographic processor which comprises monitoring an average consumption of water, chemistry, packaging material and energy per unit amount of photographic film processed in the processor. By taking into account the inter-relationship between all of the above-noted parameters, a fully-automated color film processor having a specified eco-efficiency property can be designed. The eco-efficiency property of the processor is characterized in that it provides more function for the processor with less environmental impacts than comparable products and combines attributes such as minimization of mass and a volume of solution that is heated by a processor, effective use of energy, simplification of power consumption, minimization of time required to process film, recovery of waste produced during operation of the processor, and recovery and reuse of water evaporated during use of the processor.
