Systems and methods provide for printing unactivated tokens which can be activated into valid postage indicia at a later time. Monetary liability for postage indicia value is postponed until the token is activated into a postage indicium; thus, the token does not have value and is not valid until activated into indicium. Consequently, a user is not made monetarily liable for printed tokens unless the tokens are activated into postage indicia.

The invention relates to a special film used for fabricating FR tag antenna, which comprises a substrate, a parting material layer and a metal layer, and the method to fabricate an FR tag antenna with the special film. The method includes the following steps: A)printing: take adhesives as imaging material to develop an FR tag antenna pattern on the metal layer of the special film; B)etching: dissolve the unprinted part of the metal layer of the special film with etching liquid to form a metal antenna pattern; C) transfer printing: press a printing stock and the special film tightly together and then separate the two so that the metal antenna pattern can be transferred to the surface of the printing stock. The method is simple in technique, high in efficiency and low in cost; the printing stock can be chosen freely; therefore the special film and the method can be applied to manufacture various all-band RFID antennas with high precision, low impedance, good conductivity and thick metal film.

Automatic selection of best shots from among a plurality of photographic images is enabled, while retaining photographic images of scenes, for which a possibility exists that a user feels are necessary, regardless of image quality. A readout portion reads out a plurality of photographic images, which are recorded on a memory card. A classifying portion classifies these photographic images into similar photographic image groups, which include similar photographic images. A selection condition setting portion of an extracting portion sets selection conditions so that at least one qualified photographic image is selected from each similar photographic image group. The extracting portion extracts qualified photographic image groups form each similar photographic image group, based on the set selection conditions. A printing portion prints only the qualified photographic images, and a recording portion records the qualified photographic images and other photographic images in different folders of a CD-R.

An editor server in a server transmits a layout image to a user PC. An image editor in the user PC sets the layout of a print image in accordance with the layout image and an edit command entered by the user through an input device. When the user enters a print start command through the input device, the editor server transmits the layout information defining the layout of the print image at the point in time to the editor server. The editor server puts the layout information into a file in the server and after completion of transmission of an original image container to the user PC, transmits the layout information file to the user PC. Print OCX in the user PC prepares a print image based on original image data in the original image container and the layout information in the layout information file, and requests a printer driver to print.
