Tips & Techniques » Wide Format Cutters Do I need a Wide Format Cutter? Large printers mean large media, and that media needs to be trimmed down too! What do you do when you have something larger than 12” that needs to be cut or trimmed? Do you break out a blade and the longest straight edge you have, lay it all out on the floor, and make your cuts? Or maybe you mark your cutting line on the media and use scissors to try and cut it. If you are looking for a straight cut and a professional finish, these methods simply will not work. Time to try United wide format cutters. When working with large media, a wide format cutter is a must have. Not only will it save you time and energy, but it may very well save you time and time again from reprinting projects. Printing is expensive and time consuming enough, don’t multiply all of that by making a bad cut. United’s wide format cutters come with easy to read ruler grid lines to give you accurately measured cuts. In addition, they offer a locking side guide to keep paper from moving, and a long straight edge giving our sharp blades the straightest cuts.
