Re: [Digital BW] Re:Roll Paper

2010-09-30 by Phil

A 12"compound slide mitre saw may help but depending on the diameter of 
the paper roll. 100ft paper roll is hard to deal with but 40ft may be 
possible. Need to choose the right (finer) saw blade too.

Matte paper is easier to cut than glossy paper. Plastic paper like 
inkjet white film is hard to cut using a saw but easy to cut using a knife.
