Re: Card Stock recommendations

I too find cutting that thick RR Denali paper a real hassle.  I take it to a
local print shop, they rip it more than cut it.  I found a Dahle Cut Cat
roller-based cutter 18" long in one of my company offices (about 300 miles
away) cut it just fine---only trouble was that when I bought one for myself,
the slightly newer version didn't cut well.  I sent the card to the office
supply place in Michigan where I bought the Dahle, and they advised me I'd
have to spend $250 on a guillotine-style cutter to be able to cut the paper
properly.  I returned the Dahle (less 30% restocking fee) and didn't buy the
bigger unit.  This isn't a big market for me, so if anyone has any ideas on
cutting these thicker papers cheaply, there's more of us that would like to
know.   Forget Rotatrim---just can't afford it!

I've printed a few on double-sided matte, but at 9.7 mil it's still too
thin.
I'd like to print at 720dpi, but would settle for something that holds 360
I'm using a 1270 w/CIS<<<

I have a 1270 w/OEM carts. I use Avery business cards because they are
pre-scored. They print beautifully at 720dpi but they are also a bit thin.
Red
River Denali 76lb 2-sided matte (www.redrivercatalog.com) prints just as
nicely
and is a nice thickness. There are other manufacturers of good quality
2-sided
matte, but I find it a big hassle to cut the business cards. How do you do
that?
