Abstract:

Self-developing photographic film units are disclosed having an IIR sheet cut from an elongate web of material, a second sheet cut from an elongate web of material, and a mask sheet cut from an elongate web of material and spacer means between the IIR sheet and the second sheet. The mask sheet and spacer means serve to seal the IIR sheet and the second sheet together along opposite side margins thereof. A container of processing composition and a trap are disposed at opposite end margins of the film unit. The IIR sheet is strippable between a portion thereof bearing an image after processing and other components of the film unit including a non-image-bearing portion of the IIR sheet overlying the container. Preferably the stripping occurs between photosensitive layers and an image-receiving layer of the IIR sheet. The IIR sheet has a discontinuous slit between the image-bearing portion and the non-image-bearing portion.
