Just got a Canon Pro 1100 printer and I will have to trim some prints up to 17x22". I'm hoping to hear from those with more experience than I have on this. I have used an office-grade single-sided guillotine cutter many times at work, and that's it for experience. Do you use and/or recommend rollers or guillotine cutters and can you reliably turn an 18" guillotine cutter to trim the 22" dimension?
Only interested in trimming a single sheet of print, or, at most, a matte. I know some are more troublesome with multiple copies, that that won't be a requirement.
My need is low-volume, as well - just for personal use.
Thanks to any and all that reply. Your experience and response is valued.

I wound up buying a Dahle 18E as I had a pretty near-term need. Seems be excellent for my application, and I will be able to flip it around for any 22" cuts. Moderately priced. I like that it has a clamping mechanism and the safety of the dull-blade guillotine technology rather than the sharpened blades. I suspect it might be less effective with a larger stack of paper or thick stock, but I just tested it cross-grain on 4 layers of corrugated cardboard and it cut them, but not without creeping and tearing a bit. That was a pretty extreme test for what I plan to use this for. Hope this helps someone out there - gonna mark this as a solution (just one of many possible solutions though).
