Crop tool can be useful since you can input measurements, and I'd work in pixels. Total image width, divide by no of sects req. Crop one end of image thus, and 'save as'. Undo crop. Set new crop to whole image width less the one already done. Crop but don't save. Reset crop to same width as first crop. Crop one end of image and 'save as' ... etc. Note that the original remains unaltered via the use of the 'save as' command and assigning a series name to each saved crop section.
ps you may have to adjust the image size slightly to begin with so that each equal intended section has a whole no of px! If px aren't yr default units you don't need to change it but can type your chosen number into the crop width field followed by a space then the letters px. All easier to do than to talk about!

Perfect Resize is the really easy way. It'll divide the image into 'x' strips in one go.

Do you want crop marks at set points across the image? If so, just draw a line in Photoshop, there are rulers along the edge of the screen so you can set them where you want them (view > rulers if you don't see any). Expand the canvas slightly along one edge if you don't want to mark on the actual image, just bear in mind you will have to chop off the excess from that edge as well when you print.
Just thought, you may not be printing at all, and want to do everything digitally. In which case, I would just use the rectangular marquee to select each section (it shows the size of the selection in real time as you move it, or you can type in the size you want in the toolbar). Then copy and paste to a new canvas.

i.e Set the width of each strip, set the height, click apply - that's it. You''ll get 'x' separate files - one for each strip.

it does seem that way but it also allows you to then save for web as highest quality jpeg and it saves all the slices separate.
example here which ive then megred into a single image with black separated lines ( without actually losing any of the image ) so in effect i have on my desktop now saved 5 seperate slices
( original and then sliced )
each of the 5 saved slices are around 2.5mb each. the original shot is 12.9mb so very little loss so if its for printing to create a similar sliced effect above ( without the black lines ) seems easy enough to do

yep, save for web jpeg, but then adjust slider to 100% for maximum quality..i did notice that that wasnt any DNG, Tiff or raw option so i guess as jpeg its best your going to get doing it that way.. couldnt find any other way to save it that would seperate the slices though im sure theres most likely 3rd party software that can do the job easier , was just the way i found how to do it from a quick google search.
ahhh i just found one called tilemage ( google search for it ). its tiny install less than 1mb... you select image, select rows or columns ( or both and how many you want... choose output ( it has tiff listed ) and click split.. took about 5 seconds to do! )
even has a batch mode !

well that worked great.. took about 30 seconds to slice and a couple of minutes to piece together like this in adobe CC. just for fun.
Yes, Tilemage works alright and will save as tiff.
I think I'll stick with Perfect Resize though because it's interface is far better and it previews the strips/tiles in the same way as Photoshop. It'll also do overlaps and a ton of other stuff.
