Paper Cutters — Slicing Time, Not Fingers

It behooves printers and trade binders to carefully examine the complete design of the paper cutter, says Walter Gierlach, vice president of Pro-Cut Manufacturer.

"The widths may be the same between different brands, but the designs and features do not even compare," he says. "It is like comparing apples to oranges. Be prepared to ask questions about the weight of the frame and table, backgauge speed and accuracy, clamp and knife force consistency, dealer reliability and the warranty."
