Old film format

[Jukebag]

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a film format that was used, possibly from the late 60s to the 70s, where the developed prints displayed a large image of the photo you took together with smaller sized versions of the same photo on the same printed paper. The paper had a rather card like feel to it then regular prints.

I have several photos like this in my family album, but I've been puzzled as to what format it was and why they were developed in this manner. It may actually been some type of polaroid but I've never seen any polaroids that were developed like that.

Anyone have any ideas and what time period they introduced this format?.

Presumably it was done like that in development rather that a specific film.

I remember something like that vaguely from the 70s, a gimmick from one of the commercial processing houses that wasn't related to the film size. Called Multi Print perhaps.

Tripleprint. Was one large and two small images from the same neg on one print.

Gets a mention in the Background section in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grunwick_dispute

Tripleprint were still going strong in the late 1990s, probably later.

Jukebag, was the main image a fairly square format rather than rectangular 35mm format? If so I wonder whether those prints were made from what I think was called 110 format film used in an 'Instamatic' camera?

I had loads of Tripleprint from 110 Instamatic.

I also think I had Tripleprint from 35mm

Thinking about it, was there a bigger instamatic film, 126 maybe ?

[Simpo Two]

Yep, Tripleprint. Nothing to do with the film format, just the printing.

Bonusprint, Starfoto, Truprint - it's all coming back to me!

I used all of them from the early '80s until 2004 and digital.

Yep, 126. Film was same width as 35mm IIRC but in a cassette like 110. Images were square.

That's the kiddy. My instamatic 33 with a cube on the top for light bulbs that popped when the flash went off

But did you have the cube on top for the flash?

[Oystercatcher]

Might have done...

Actually my first camera was a plastic TLR that took 120 roll film. It wouldn't take 220 as that had no backing paper and the thing wasn't lightproof enough...

I did.. they used to come in boxes of three and were stupidly expensive. (Well when it was pocket money paying for them!).
