Probably could use film stock. Issues are it’s not too flexable, might break after a read
so it would be hard to handle, its hard, and would dull the punch pins quickly, and film
is expensive.
Before CTP, we shot pasted-up pages with a big camera, and used that developed film to
make plates. The film was punched after developing, with just 3 holes. The punches got
dull after about 3000 punches and had to be replaced and sent out for sharpening.

I would love to see someone create a galvo-laser system for punching
paper/mylar tape. On Aliexpress you can get a galvo set for (all prices
USD) ~$30, a 10W laser head for $40, ..
What is a "galvo-laser"? A lot of Aliexpress stuff is a total fake, it this
one of them?
