Hi CK, YS

where did u buy your rotary cutter from and how much did it cost?

re: slide mounting. In the process of throwing away lousy slides, I end up with a lot of empty plastic mounts which I simply reuse. So I alternate between ordering mounted and unmounted processing. Also, I use scissors In photo.net someone recommended simply cutting it within the sleeve if one is worried about dirt.

Which kind of cutter? My "cutter for cutting photos" is a rotary one, not easy to use on slides.

I bought my pape cutter from a stationery shop (Evergreen I think) for about $90 2 years ago. I also alternate between mounted and unmounted. But of late, I have been lazy to mount the unmounted stuff, especially when it's not that good. Saves me the trouble. ;p

Carrefour having sales for the Dahle paper cutters. A4 for $52 something, A3 for $90 something. Mine has served me well for 2 years and haven't failed me. Blade is still sharp.
