Everyone talks about printers, now lets talk about scissors/cutters.
TDIRunner:
There is nothing wrong with using a knife, straight edge, and cutting board, but I've found using the paper cutter I listed above to be much faster without sacrificing precision. For me that's important because I've done as many as 40 covers in one night. I won't always be doing that many, but right now I have a lot of covers to print out. ;)
Einhander:
I have to ask about this as well. I use Fiskars but it looks a little different than the one above. I'm wondering if there is something better because I feel like it doesn't cut it fully cleanly.
wiggy:
Blade, straight edge, mat like many others. You'll get the best cuts that way (if you're careful and take your time)

Obviously I can't comment on your model, but the one I have pictured gives me perfectly clean cuts all of the time. I can go through an entire box of paper (50 sheets) without changing the blade (usually more). If your blade isn't giving clean cuts, see about replacing it with a clean blade. Also, the cutting board underneath the blade is usually replaceable (the one I have pictured works this way). If that is old, replace it as well. It's just as important as a clean blade for good cuts.

Cutting board, Xacto knife, and a ruler. Best way I've found.
I used to use and actual paper cutter and it would always fuck it up somehow.
