Re: Possible to cut Epson paper rolls?

2005-11-09 by roleiman

Richard, is printing with a paper roll a hassle? I had posted a 
similar querie on another forum, and a responder suggested that 
dealing with paper curl is an issue. I like the fact that you only 
use as much paper as you need. I shoot 6x6cm and generally crop 
little in order to keep the square look. With a 12"x12" image, I am 
throwing away a third of a 13x19 piece of paper. Perhaps they would 
cut me 13x13 sheets. Thanks again.
David
