Free Custom Paper Sizes
Ever wondered why sheet photo inkjet papers are usually only available in A4 - A3 - A3+ and A2 while our traditional preferred photographic sizes bear no resemblance at all to these formats? - Quite simply, economics: Paper Mills around the world aim to utilise the maximum saleable paper from their manufactured stock, and it suits them to adopt the A series cutting sizes.
Photographers, Laboratories, Studios and their clients however, still use the traditional photographic sizes - look at the majority of ready-made photo frames, albums etc: Production photo inkjet printing often requires a particular size of paper, whether a preferred photographic, or custom designated format.
Marrutt uniquely have in-house precision digital guillotines, which can convert your choice of A4, A3, A3+ or A2 paper down to any size or combination of sizes you wish, to an accuracy of 1/10th of a millimetre, perfectly square and true. We make no charge for this service, you only pay for the original Marrutt Inkjet Paper stock, your required size is cut out and re-packed back into your paper box with the remainders, so that your paper edges remain crisp and undamaged. 14 COMMONLY REQUESTED SIZES ARE LISTED FOR EACH OF THE MARRUTT PAPERS:
