RE: [Digital BW] guillotine or rotary blade trimmer?

2007-01-16 by Eric Neilsen

There were a lot of answers but here is the skinny.

 

I have used both for the better part of 30 years of active photo life. They
both have a place in the finishing process as does a matte cutter. One can
even do very nicely with a metal edged ruler and a good single edged razor
blade. For quick repetitive cuts that are 12" or less a roto trimmer is
great, but sometimes prints or bigger. You may need to add a well measured
attached accurate addition to get you what you what. 

 

Look at thebestthings.com. Best price for a rotatrimmer that I found. 

 

Happy trimming

 

And don't plan on prying my old guillotine cutter out of my hands any time
soon : 0 )

Hi all,

I've never needed to trim my prints...until now. What type is best?

Thanks,
Sarah
