Abstract
Ink jet printing apparatus for forming a plurality of ink images on a receiver and for cutting the receiver to form separate prints of such ink images in response to a digital image file including at least one digital image includes at least one ink jet print head adapted to deliver ink to the receiver. The receiver is moved along a first receiver path past the ink jet print head. Control circuitry is responsive to one or more digital image files for actuating the ink jet print head to form a plurality of ink images on the receiver. A first actuatable receiver cutter responds to the control circuitry. The receiver is moved along a second path that is perpendicular to the first receiver path. A second actuatable cutter responsive to the control circuitry is disposed at a predetermined position relative to the second receiver path for sequentially cutting the receiver to form separate prints each having at least one ink image.
