http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003SLC3IU/ref=wms_ohs_product Can find it for under 20$ quite often. I've cut around 500 covers using it, same blade and still works flawlessly, can cut a few at a time too. I even use it for ebay shipping labels etc lol |

I use the rolling cutter at FedEx Office. After printing the covers off, I mark small lines on the outer edges, using a ruler and pen. Then, I use them as guides to position the cover as close to the edge, without cropping any off. If done right, you get a near-perfect cut every time. |
