I bought this cutter to cut 13x19 single sheet prints. The cutter has a sleek design and a good weight to it. There are multiple blades for cutting, scoring, perforating and squiggling.
I put down 2 crop marks (8.5x11 matte paper) to make sure the cutter could cut straight, and the cut was about 1mm off on one end as well as a bit wavy in the middle. I did about another 100 test cuts on different paper and it seems to have the same consistency with the curvy lines appearing where ever your hand is not perfectly steady...cut speed does not fix the quality. The LED light is pretty much an ornament since it's hidden by your hand when you cut.
WHY IT WILL NEVER CUT STRAIGHT if you care to read on.
The cutter it self is well made, except for the most important part. The blade pushes out of the box and comes in contact with a very cheaply made plastic piece/strip. The plastic piece is uneven and bulges above the cutting surface. The dotted guide line is printed on this strip, but it is done with thick paint and painted on crooked. Because you are cutting on an uneven surface, your cuts will never be straight. If this piece could ever be sanded down and fixed, there is also the problem of the uneven cuts based on hand pressure. This device needs a lot of work.
