13 inch rolls of any kind of media are about 2.5 times more expensive per square foot than other width rolls. If one were to purchase a 24" roll and cut it into one 13" and one 11" roll, you'd have two rolls of media ideal for the 1280, 1800, 2200, 2400, and other 13" printers. Since those printers are usually limited to a maximum print length of 44", you could cut the required length off the roll to avoid the problem of pulling media off a heavier roll than the printer was designed to handle. However, using some trashed rolls from a former employer, I have not figured out how to cut the rolls and get a clean cut. Table saws or band saws leave a ragged edge. Does anyone know how to cut a 100 foot roll of media like Epson Professional Glossy and get a clean, sharp edge? Thanks! Bob Marsolais
