Tip of the Week

It is recommended to use a good art knife, an X-acto knife, instead of blades or surgical knives. X-acto knives are safer, easier to handle, and they fit the hand.

When purchasing X-acto knives for paste-up, buy the style with a snap-off tip. Your knife will become one of your most valuable tools for cutting and trimming, and because of this, the blades will dull quickly. By using this style, you can break them off easily (rather than replacing the entire tip) at the first sign of dullness.
