 Bought a 32T/inch blade for my hacksaw and used it to cut 13" X50' rolls(4) down to 6.5" 
wide 
for my R2400. Cut edge was a little rough, and since I am trimming edges after printing, it 
was no problem.
Kept the vacuum cleaner handy to keep sawdust(powder) under control. Used an 'A' clamp 
to secure the roll to my work table for cutting.
Had gotten quotes from printing 'Converting' companies for 'slitting' and it was too 
expensive in small quantities.
Good Luck!
