I bought this for my son who is a digital artist and sells his prints. He needed something more heavy duty than the plastic cutter from Michael’s crafts. This cutter is exceptionally well made. It’s solid (made of metal) and meticulously designed german engineering. Expensive but well worth the price. My son said the blade is very sharp and precise and that he is able to trim even the thinnest edges cleanly.

I'm an artist and print and pack my own art. For prints larger than 8x10, I used a long ruler and a box cutter to trim my prints. After preparing for a big market and cutting many prints this way, I got tired and finally bit the bullet and got me this trimmer. I searched high and low for the best printer but I got scared of the negative reviews. This one didn't have as many and it was on sale, so I took the risk. I read in the instructions you can adjust the screws that may make the guides misaligned during shipping, which would cause non-squared cuts. After adjusting it, it works like a charm and I can finally use the numbers on the board, and not depend on my registration lines 100% of the time. I still keep those lines, just in case but I'm not as meticulous about it. I've been using it over a year and the blade is still very sharp and the cuts are clean.

Love this. Cuts 140 lb cold watercolor paper perfectly. I only do 1 sheet at a time. But you can cut even the tinniest thin layer off if you messed up a measurement. And it’s a great size for large sheets of watercolor paper. I don’t have to use a ruler anymore and put marks on the paper.

I am writing to express my concern regarding the performance of the device I recently purchased, as it appears to be consistently misaligned. Despite following the provided instructions and video demonstrations precisely for my 13x19 paper, the cuts are inaccurate, resulting in significant material waste and requiring manual intervention with scissors. Given that I invested in this equipment for its professional capabilities, I have been disappointed to find that it fails to produce consistent results even after minimal use. Could you please advise whether the unit I received is defective or if there is a known adjustment required to resolve these ongoing alignment issues?

This unit is not cheap, but it is the best paper cutter I’ve used. And having worked in photography since the early 80s, I’ve used my fair share of paper cutters.

I purchased this cutter because I needed an extremely accurate cutter that would be quick to use. Unfortunately, I have gone back to my mat, metal ruler and knife for important projects. It cuts great, through several pieces. It cuts cleanly. However, it doesn’t cut straight when using the bar at the bottom as a guide. It must be off just a tiny bit. If I use the printed guides lines, I generally get a true cut, but I was hoping for something to speed up my workflow. Also, it screeches horribly when you use it, which I could have dealt with if it cut accurately. I SHOULD HAVE RETURNED IT! Waste of money for my purposes.

Absolutely love the cutter. Had a smaller one, different brand, that broke and replaced with this one and couldn't be happier.

What an amazing piece of kit well built and extremely well packaged expensive but with a five year guarantee I’m happy to have that included with this great item and hope for many years of use

Meilleure rogneuse que j' ai utilisé

As a mixed media artist I tend to build my work onto the paper thus often leading to warping or using heavy gsm papers. This trimmer has made light work of cutting through all of it. Which is very impressive as many others have failed. I find that I can get 100% accuracy in finding where I want to cut and a straight cut every time. Also with the double rotary bar the gig feels solid and does not wobble unlike other single bar trimmers! I couldn’t be happier with this paper trimmer and I would recommend it thoroughly!
