Re: [Digital BW] Paper for 8x12

2003-12-02 by awahlster

RAD, I have been talking about doing just this with 13X19 paper on 
the Photo.net forum for Digital printing I was trying to find out if 
the Canon i960 or i950 printers would handle legal size paper 8.5X14 
so to be able to print a full frame 8X12 just like you are. The idea 
I had for cutting the paper involved making more then just the 8X12 
size as I do a lot of printing to a 6X9 image size (they work real 
nice matted into my letter sized portfolio book) I have figure out a 
whole bunch of ways to cut down this paper. BUT I have been planning 
on having a print shop do it all in one pas on their Guliotine type 
cutter. I polt it out for them on the top sheet or give them the 
diamensions and cut order and in a couple of minutes the make me 50 
(or more) Identical sheets that will register perfectly in any 
printer. That can be set for that paper size. Thsi would only cost a 
few bucks and most shops would do it while you wait or help out.

The other way to accuratly cut paper this size would be a box knife 
and a staright edge (beats a paper cutter all to heck for staying 
straight.
