A speed detector (58) detects a transport speed of the film.

When the imaging plate is transported together with the support (1), the imaging plate does not come into contact with the drive means.

The laminate process controller identifies a carry position of the defective portion of the film on the basis of a carry position of the film and the defect-portion information.

The conveying means for delivering the transfer film (5) to the transfer gap (6) can be moved and locked in order to change the conveying of the film in at least two positions E1, E2.

When a substrate (2) and the film joined thereto are carried, the film carrying rollers are moved to evacuation positions where these rollers are separated from the substrate.

The transport of the film and the arming of the shutter are not associated.

The camera is motorized for all that relates to the transport of film.

However at the time of the loading of a new film, the camera ensures the transport of the film until the first view.

In the folding step, while conveying the stretched film (F) after stretching, the stretched film (F) is folded back at least once on the inner face thereof in a direction parallel or perpendicular to the stretching direction.
