the dictionary „cutting edge“ means
„the edge of a cutting tool in contact
with the work during a machining operation“.
And that’s the definition we will
use. But for „cutting edge“ you might
also find explanations like „up-to-date“
or „state-of-the-art“ or „leading position“,
and here we are right again.
Those who „do“ pictures themselves,
either in a photo lab or with an ink jet
printer, need a trimmer.When you consider,
what can be „produced“ with
your computer using up-to-date prin-
ting software – business
cards, greeting cards, CD
inlays and much more – a
clean and precise cut is the
minimum you should grant to
your own printout.
Trimmers using a rotary blade offer a
lot of advantages and are especially
safe.
Trimmers with interchangeable cutting
heads can provide different „cutting
edges“.
Cutting quality is definitely the most
important issue, this means a clean
and accurate cutting edge. Blade,
counter-blade and the guiding of the
cutting head are the crucial factors.
Additional features like format markings,
scales, grid patterns and guide
rails make positioning and aligning
easy.
Cutting length, cutting capacity and
table size are the determining factors
in choosing the best trimmer. Whether
you use the trimmer as a professional
tool or just with your hobby: in any
case you can find a suitable trimmer
on the following pages – so trim up
your prints.
