Title: Photo Cutters Post by: BackdropJunction on January 04, 2012, 01:30:40 PM Hi guys, I have been trying to branch out the business a little from the backdrops. I now have an Epson 9900 and it seems a horrible waste to have it sitting idle when not printing backdrops. So, I am trying to do banners and posters, and some photo enlargements. However, this will require cutting the photos out. I am thinking that for now I will likely limit it to a max dimension of 36". Mainly because I am running out of room in the office and paper rolls are living everywhere.
So what is the best cutter type? Guillotine or rotary cutter? Is there a trick to it? Is it worth it to get one with a laser guide? Thanks Title: Re: Photo Cutters Post by: jeffjessee on January 04, 2012, 02:58:11 PM Rotary is better for accurate, clean cut. I only have a 17 inch, but it can be used for a 16x20 on my 4800, as I only have to trim the 16 inch sides on a borderless print.

I have a Mastercut A3 and it's far superior to the cheaper unit I had before. It will cut 2mm mount board too.Terry Title: Re: Photo Cutters Post by: BackdropJunction on January 06, 2012, 02:16:30 AM SOunds like a plan. Thanks for the info

Thanks for the info I bought one so long ago that I can't remember... never had a problem or a glitch... Model EC 16 (It has a label that says it was inspected by inspector #54) :-) Really, you wont be sorry. They make a fine product. I think that inspector 54 is the same person that inspects my new pants. Fred :D Title: Re: Photo Cutters Post by: rayw on January 07, 2012, 05:33:29 PM Fred - you certainly don't want a problem in your pants - not at your age :D
