Cutting Artwork
« on: May 23, 2011, 07:58:10 pm »
Anyone need to 'cut/trim' the edge of CPO artwork?  It's looking like I'm going to have to do mine myself (the cutting) and I'm trying to figure out the best way to do it and make sure it's accurate.

Use painter's tape to keep it in position.  Flip the CPO upside down and use a utility knife to trim away the excess/overhang.

Assuming its sticky  put it in place on the cpo and then run a sharp knife (utility , xacto etc) along the edge and cut.
I did the smae for the holes with great results.

It's not - actually needs to be cut pre-application and I need it to be perfectly straight.  I'm leaning towards rotary cutter and straightedge.
