Digital photograph printing
The phrase below comes from an alphabetical list of isolated words and sentences for a photo printing website so unfortunately it lacks futher context. Everything else seems to refer to digital printing rather than analogue, but I don't know if that's always the case.
"Bei der Ausbelichtung und dem anschließenden Schneiden der Bilder kommt es zu Toleranzen. Diese können 2-3 mm betragen."
Many thanks for any help.

photographic printing of digital images
As opposed to inkjet or laser printing.
As mentioned in the discussion posts, it's all about getting analogue print quality from digital photos on special papers - for example baryte paper or archival papers (the results last for years without fading). The reference shows it offred by Whitewall for black and white photos shot with a Leica M Monochrom camera (before anyone complains, it IS without an "e " at the end)

BTW: I reckon what they mean here is as follows.
"Printing digital images on photographic paper and subsequent trimming may lead to size differences of up to 2-3 mm."
This is just to warn customers who order a certain format that the final print may be just a little bit smaller than they ordered. A sort of disclaimer to prevent returns or complaints.
Please note, the process here is trimming, and is applied to the print - cropping is applied to the image itself to isolate a particular part of the picture or to remove undesired image content around the main subject.
