Hi All, I don't do much paper cutting, and when I do, I use either a good knife or a generic guillotine-type paper cutter available in the departmental office or elsewhere. I am considering buying a simple inexpensive one for myself. I haven't used "rolling" cutters (I believe they are frequently called trimmers?). I see that they could be a bit more versatile if there are multiple types of edges (wave, straight, etc.), but then you'd need to change the "knife head", probably very frequently (?). So, my question is: What are the pro's and con's of both types of cutters, especially in application to the photo paper? Thank you, Igor
My experience is that the rolling style cutters give a more precise cut, less slippage and fewer ragged edges. It's a lot easier to use when you misjudge the cut and have to cut it again to take a tiny sliver off. I only have a straight cutter & have never had to change the wheel. I probably could if I was doing industrial quantities. -- Science - Questions we may never find answers for.
