Abstract A method of manufacturing adhesive backed photographs attached to an easily removable non-sticking backing sheet. The method includes the steps of forming a pattern of sprocket holes at regular spaced intervals along the length of a roll of unexposed photographic paper. Creating a plurality of latent photographic images on the roll of photographic print paper in a predetermined pattern with the pattern of images registered relative to the pattern of sprocket holes. Developing the latent photographic images on the roll of photographic paper to provide a roll of photographs arranged in a predetermined pattern on one side of the roll of paper. Feeding the row of photographs into a cutter mechanism using the sprocket holes in the photographic paper to register the photographs relative to a cutter element of the cutter mechanism which cuts borders around each photograph. Applying the adhesive side of an adhesive coated release sheet to the back of the roll of photographs after the roll of photographs has been registered relative to the cutter element, but before cutting of the borders by the cutter element. Cutting a border around each photograph with the cuts extending through the photograph paper and adhesive but not through the release paper. Removing the border around each photograph from the roll of photographs. Cutting the roll of photographs into sheets or strips of photographs.
