Having only used the big pro models in a large photo lab in the navy, I didn't have any idea it would work. Pleased to say it works really good. The key to success is a good straightedge and a way to clamp it in place as you cut. Forget about holding the straight edge by hand. I have a large woodworkers bench in my old studio and lots of wood working clamps. From start to finish I can layout and cut a mat in under 5 minutes, so considering the mat and framing section of the camera store charges 12.00 for a custom mat, I figure I have already paid for it and then some!
Walt =========== That's the problem I have with mat cutting, no good work surface. Neat. Marnie aka Doe ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
