Photo prints from wide format inkjet workflow

[ripek]

Hi!

I'm wondering about offering photo prints like the ones you can get from a photolab but printed on more fine papers on wide inkjet printer (ipf 8400).

Printing is excellent but the real challenge is how to convert big sheets of paper with dozens of images on them to loose cut prints.

Right now it's a ruler and a scalpel deal but there must be a faster way!

Any ideas how to automate it without damaging this very delicate substrate?

I was thinking about smaller inkjet printer and narrow rolls but would the printer be accurate enough to leave even white borders around?

This is the product I'm thinking about: https://images.bigcartel.com/bigcartel/product_images/162482377/max_w-560/B6h1wmyCQAErv_V.jpg

Thanks for any help!

you can put small rolls on a wide format and print those to size, then have your printer autocut.

We use different width media on our older Epson 9880. Today there were some A2 prints that we printed on 610mm width media, we also have 914mm and 1118mm stocks. Cutting knife and ruler are what we use for small runs or we use a Neolt 2 metres trimmer which speeds the process for larger quantities of prints. http://www.starleaton.com.au/ProductDetail/TRIM 200S_Neolt-Manual-Rotary-Trimmer-200-With-Stand
