Tiffen Saunders M3 Series User manual
"Quality" is a word long associated with the Saunders
name. Saunders has built a reputation for long-lasting
quality in photographic products.Now, Saunders
Professional M3 Series trimmers bring that same
quality to a key area of image finishing.
With the continued growth of digital imaging and
inkjet printing,there is tremendous demand for newer
and more versatile precision cutting products. The M3
Series trimmers are designed to easily and accurately
trim gang-printed sheets containing multiple prints
in multiple sizes. This is especially useful at the
many self-service print stations springing up
around the country.
Durable, accurate, and easy to use
Our cutting head is die-cast alloy construction, which adds strength, maintains alignment, and guarantees years
of service. It’s molded to the shape of your hand with an exclusive Comfort Grip that makes repetitive work less
fatiguing. Within the housing is a hollow-ground tool-steel rotary blade that is self-sharpening for a long life of
clean, precise cuts.
Dual steel rails guide the cutting head with complete stability and precision for accurate, repeatable cuts. Four
nylon bearings in the head further ensure quiet, effortless cutting. The extruded aluminum supports on each end
lock in alignment. A transparent paper guide automatically holds material in place without risk of damage. An
extruded aluminum alignment scale is factory-locked to be perfectly square to the blade edge. The alignment
scale has measurements in inches and centimeters and accepts the slide guide for making repeatable cuts. The
baseboard wipes clean in seconds. A durable, silk-screened registration grid, laid out in 1-inch increments, covers
the baseboard for quick and easy measuring of any print or document.
Designed for safety
The cutting blade is completely covered by the blade housing—making the M3 Series an ideal choice for schools,
offices, darkrooms, self-service print stations, and high-volume production labs.
