For this reason, the leading end 1a of the L size photographic print 1 is in contact with the inclined surface 53 at a considerably small acute angle. As described above, when the strip-shaped photographic printed matter 1A is cut, the strip-shaped photographic printed matter 1A contacts the inclined surface 53 at a small acute angle, so that the tip 1a of the cut photographic printed matter 1 is not caught on the inclined surface 53. Thus, it is not necessary to provide an additional inclined plate suitable for the L-size photographic print 1 with respect to the inclined plate 50.
