$16995 - reasonable and roll-based = easier to automate label application.
Yep, the way to go...
I have been in the graphics business all my life, started out setting hand set type and running a letterpress in high school, then offset presses, silk screen, and onto the digital age wide format inkjet printers today.
Looking over what you are trying to accomplish, I'm pretty sure you don't need a wide format inkjet printer, but actually an automated roll to roll printer like the RAPID X1, and accompany that with a roll to roll laminator and die cutter, to print laminate, and die cut your chip inserts.
The fine detail in the small chip inserts needs to be printed at a high resolution, and if you try to get that quality on a wide format printer, it will be very slow, the RAPID X1 prints high resolution images very fast, the X1 prints 1600x800 images at 60 feet per minute.
