Digital BW, The Print

Hi.  So far I have never burnt the paper at all.  It must be held firmly and square to the blade of course.  Your blade appears to be ideal.

I find a gentle postiive feed of the blade without hesitation works best.  If you go too slowly and really take a long time in cutting the roll you just may run into a burning issue.

If the blade is not new and has been used quite a bit for cutting resinous woods you might have burninging issues.  That is why most people keep a blade just for cutting paper rolls.

A blade used to cut MDF moldings, etc. will also have some of the crispness taken off the cutting edges even though the blade looks clean.
