I have ever worked in a photo shop, and my boss purchased many paper trimmers and all us believe that guillotine paper trimmer is best effective. Utilizing guillotine paper trimmer can be a great way to increase productivity at work, also it is not expensive.
Guillotine paper trimmer is designed to cut small amounts of paper. Guillotine paper trimmer operate in a similar fashion to manual cutters- both require physical effort, but the cutter allows you to cut more paper at a time. Guillotine paper trimmer can cut many different types of materials including paper, plastic, film, negatives, tissue pape, poster board, textiles, foam mounting board and mat board. Because the blade is limited in length, the length of material that can be cut in one pass is also limited.
Why called Guillotine – Guillotine paper trimmer with a long, exposed blade like behead criminals and attached to a handle that the user presses down to make the paper cut, so we all call this as Guillotine.
