Paper Cutters -- The Winning Edge

Users need to keep in mind the largest press or imaging size at its disposal, according to Mark Pellman, marketing manager for Baum Corp. The cutter should have the table width and depth to accommodate largest current and future requirements. Other considerations include:

* The varieties of stock and how often they are used. Substrate varieties are constantly growing, so cutting time factors into the equation. For example, a light-duty, electric powered knife and clamp is not suitable for a printer that relies on the cutter on a daily basis with a steady volume of work. The varieties of stock being cut must be matched to the proper cutting blade material and rake angle.
