Stapling and Paper cutting recommendations

Previous Top Next |
| · | A "long-reach" stapler, available from Blue Squirrel, provides a good solution. We've used the Stanley-Bostitch Long Reach Stapler with excellent results on all our folded layouts.
|
| · | Another good solution is the Stanley-Bostitch Booklet "saddle" stapler. A folded booklet (up to 8-1/2" x 11" when flat) slips into place on the stapler and staples straight every time.
|
| · | On most paper cutters, there is some play (sideways motion) in the cutting arm, which makes it hard to cut a perfectly squared edge (making right angles at the corners).
|
| · | As you lower the cutting arm, press slightly inward (to the left) to keep the blade tight against the base of the paper cutter.
|
| · | A rolling-blade paper cutter does an excellent job of trimming booklets. Visit Blue Squirrel for information about the Dahle 507 Hobby Trimmer, and Dahle 360 Trim Ruler. Both allow you to precisely cut booklets with clean-crisp, burr-free cuts. Includes blade covers for safety, self sharpening blades, and comes in handy when you want to neatly removes the shingling effect from folded books.
