I obviously didn't make myself very clear. I didn't mean you have to shave some off each of the four sides of the paper, only that you need to shave a little off the width, and a little off the length. The width is most crucial, of course, so the RC paper will slide easily in the tracks instead of buckling, but with some holders I've also found that unless I take some off the length as well, the little flap won't close properly. Hope that's more clear. By others' responses, it looks like not all holders have this problem.
