Re: Possible to cut Epson paper rolls?

2005-11-09 by richard_h95050

Hi David,

Yes, Exim Vaios is a really good supplier! They have both custom-cut 
roles of all kinds of fine-art papers as well as roll paper cut into 
sheets that you can't get anywhere else.

It's not recommended that you use the printer's automatic cutter on 
the heavier papers, even on the wide-format machines. Whether you 
should buy a paper cutter or use a blade and a T-square probably 
depends on your own taste and how much cutting you'll be doing.

My own thinking is that if you'll be doing a lot of printing then a 
paper cutter sort of "goes with the territory" along with trimming 
things to taste when printing and mounting. I think it's an important 
investment, but YMMV ;>)

Glad this info was helpful...

Cheers,
Richard
