I really need to get myself a paper cutter so I don't have to make a trip over to Kinko's every time I need to cut straight lines. I'm thinking some kind of 12x12 paper cutter...I've been looking online and of course there are plenty available, but do any of you have one you just love? Or maybe one you hate, so I know to stay away?

Thanks! :)

i have used a fiskars 12" trimmer forever, but this past summer I bought a Tonic Guillotine 12" trimmer and LOVE it - i can literally shave tiny bits off of the edges if it is just a little off.

I've got the Dahle 550 (http://www.machinerunner.com/product/Dahle-550-14-18-Professional-Rotary-Trimmer?s_kwcid=dahle%20550|2170481068&gclid=CPbL8q3Iw5cCFSAUagodlwubTQ) rotary cutter. I've had it for... gosh probably 9 years now? I've used it tons and have never had to replace the blade, and I always get a nice crisp straight cut. It's pricey, but SO worth the investment.

I have a Fiskars Triple Track one (it's purple) and it's great...I had another more flimsy Fiskars before (it was dark grey/orange) and it was HORRIBLE, so definitely stay away from the cheaper Fiskars.

I have a craft knife and a metal rulerDang, you are hardcore!

I have one by Making Memories (http://www.makingmemories.com/Products/detail/paper-trimmer). I was lured in by the self-sharpening blade. It's the best one I've used so far. It's only the 3rd one I've tried though. The other 2 I've tried were Fiskars and they stink IMO. Or maybe it's me but I could not cut straight lines with them.
