How to cut covers out perfectly.
kenshinrurouni:
The steel ruler, exacto knife, and cutting board idea is the best as said by the other users on this post. When I use a paper cutter, it does not cut it completely straight
amarthar:
At home - scissors (you need steady hands for that) or metal ruler & knife
At work - this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002K92CQ4 though results vary.

That's why I specifically mentioned a rolling cutter; the paper doesn't bend away like with others.

It will if don't use a proper cutting mat. They can be had on the cheap, so don't give up on the ruler and Xacto, folks ;)
Sharp blades are the REAL key to clean cuts. I change the blades every 4-5 covers.
