Question: I bought a fancy paper cutter (kind with the wheel/crank to tighten it and a sort of bridge over), but it only has an opening of something like 18″. Sheets come in sizes like 28×20 or other sizes that won’t fit into the paper cutter. What do people do in these situations? Taking it to someone else seems to defeat the purpose of having bought this heavy duty. On the other hand, I’m worried about cutting it down myself with a straight edge and self-healing mat because I just don’t think I can get it perfectly square…
I’ve read lots of forums about cutting paper and I am still very anxious about this part of the process. I have a degree in architecture and cutting models (similar kind of paper, museum board) was always a giant pain in the butt.
