There are circular saw blades made specifically for cutting roll paper by the way - actually more of a circular knife.

Ok now we are talking thanks Jim I will look into this.

I've sold (and seriously tested) a variety of portable roll good cutters - some with round rotating knives, some with octagonal rotating ones, others with reciprocal wavy bread knives. I wouldn't take that route. A more stationary roll cutter holder would make way more sense in this case, like the one Jim linked. You could also check a general packaging source like ULine to see if they have a selection of these. Or used graphics equipment suppliers might have discounted versions.

I think this is the route I am going, I may have to make a custom light box as its really hard to find a oversize one. Doran is no longer making them.

Hmm. Are you referring to a 30X40 inch paper safe? Should be easy to make. I have an old Doran one still in use, with about a mile of thickness of black bookbinding tape atop the width hinge to keep it still totally dark. They aren't all that rugged over time.

Yes I think we are going to have our bookbinding friends make a big lighttight box, 32 x 44 inside

Yup...my 30x40 paper safe is also starting to leak - time to get out the black tape!

[Drew Wiley]

One of these days I should just get some more 1/4 inch thick black Sintra sheeting and be done with it. It would be a simple afternoon project. But the only thing I did with scrap Sintra this past month was to make another nice waterproof cat house for the porch.

The Canadian distributer asked them apparently and they said no.

Fotoimpex have finishing tools available for their own products, and are an Ilford reseller. Might it be worth asking them if they could do the trimming job?

At some level there have to be roll to roll paper slitters.
