The invention provides a method, apparatus, a computer-implemented process, systems and program products for digital photo processing and on-demand photo document printing. The present invention allows a customer to order the photo prints or photo document prints by transferring digital photos or photo documents in electronic formats from the user station to the storage at a photo lab or printing facility. An operator uses the operator station running the program product to compose digital photos and photo documents into one or more photo pages. All processed photo pages of the customer order are sent to one or more desktop printers integrated with a cutting device for imaging on the pre-cut sheet paper. For users in the office or at home, the printing/cutting device accepts page-size (US Letter, A4 etc.) paper. The device prints each photo page, which contains photos or photo document (multiple photos or multiple copies of the photo document), is then cut down to final individual photos or prints to produce photos, post cards, photo cards, and prints business cards.
