A3+ paper trimmer?

I've recently got an A3+ printer (am delighted to see my photos printed @ 18"x12"). the problem is, though, that a few of my photos are not 3:2, so I am trying to source a paper trimmer good for A3+ paper. A4 trimmers are everywhere and are dirt-cheap but I've never seen an A3+ sized one. Does anyone know where I could source such a thing for a reasonable price in the UK or should I just get friendly with a local art project and borrow their facilities?

Thanks in advance,
Ewan

A3+ is 13x19, not 18x22. That said, for any size, I have a Rotatrim which has lasted me years, and is probably the premier brand for trimmers of any kind. Try looking at Amazon or a local art supply store.

Yeah, I like the 1/2" border, never liked the look of borderless prints. Thanks for the recommendation, their own website has some scary prices but the other google results look promising.

Out of my price range...but this seems like a nice choice.

I would definitely second the Rotatrim - their best advert has always been all the others put together.

Mine is at least 30 years old (used professionally) and still going strong so if new price out of range - look for a used one - it will never be sold voluntarily - only if someone acquires one (meaning not a photographer) and wishes to dispose of same.

Rotatrim first choice, Dahle distant second choice, no third choice.

Prices may look high, but you won't regret the purchase. I have a 24" Rotatrim that will outlast myself, and my kids. It's 12 years old and going strong. Still sharp, cuts as thin a strip as you can hold, ans requires no more maintenance than wiping dust.

well, I got my 24" Rotatrim last night.

I still can't believe i spent that much on a glorified paper cutter

but it is awesomely good from what I've played with so far.

I bought a A3+ Swordfish and it suits my needs.

Thanks for the recommendations folks, looks like it'll be a rota-trim -- if I think of it like a good tripod purchase, i.e. once a lifetime, the price seems less painful ;-)
