Guillotines



PAGE IN PREPARATION

Guillotine in the context of a printing operation usually means a paper cutter that will cut through a pile of paper.

There are office-based devices which cut one or very few sheets with a hinged blade like an overgrown pair of scissors. These are often called guillotines but might best be known as paper trimmers.
