[Digital BW] Re: hand scoring & folding printed sheets ?

2001-12-18 by john_shouse

Hi all, I'm new to this list, though I've been lurking and learning 
for several weeks now.  Thanks for all the great info.  

Regarding the issue of scoring for folds, as for fan-folds or cards, 
etc., here's what I've found.   I picked up a relatively inexpensive 
rotary cutter from Fiskars.  
http://office.fiskars.com/product.html?prod=9580-7797

It was around $25 (at Sams, though you can get them at most any office 
supply house).  

This unit isn't heavy-duty enough to take the place of a solid 
Rototrim unit, but not bad for small jobs and it's also light 
enough to be fairly portable.  The great thing is that this unit came 
with several other blades, including a perforating blade (think 
tear-off forms), and also with a "scoring blade" 
http://office.fiskars.com/product.html?prod=9355-8097 that does just 
exactly what you're asking, and does it rather well. 

I haven't used this unit much for actual cutting, preferring my 
Rototrim, but I've used the heck out of it for making tear-off forms 
and for scoring cards, etc.  

Hope that helps.
