I would not know but if you could get it, it would be expensive. Everyone that staples their resume cuts the paper down to size. That is the norm. Me? I run my headshot through my printer and print directly on the back of the photo. I
just update my resume as I go and print up the resumes I need when I need them. THE BEST WAY-IMO.

Go to staples if there is one near you.

buy a ream of paper, and take it to the copy and print section.

tell them to cut it to 8x10 with their paper cutting machine.

cost, 2 dollars a cut.


but miss stoned is correct, the easiest way is to print it on the back.

Are you serious 1 cut is 2 dollars thats crazy. I guess I will have to pay cause I think my headshots were printed on pretty thin photo paper is that normal. I dont want them to bend I was hoping to put some sort of cardstock paper with resume on it on the back of picture.

I think he meant two dollars per REAM of paper, not per piece of paper. And why don't you want to print directly on the back of the photo? Best way. Done it for years. They will be fine.

Just buy an inexpensive paper cutter at Staples or Office Depot. I picked one up a couple of years ago and still use it.

Most actors pick up a basic paper cutter at an office supply store and do it themselves. They don't cost much and a good one will last forever.

I would do what miss stone said in her first response. Its clean and effective and your working with the best print that you can get. Considering you took your headshot to a good printer.

Photo paper is expensive. 2 bucks a sheet is right, if your not buying in bulk, and 100 sheets is not bulk.

Kinkos does it too. I think they call it laser-cutting.

It's much more precise and will save you a ton of time.

The laser cut paper really is much more efficient. Kinko's will do a whole ream of paper for like a dollar/ buck fifty a cut and you only need two cuts.

Doing it yourself is a pain. You can only cut a few at a time, and it has to be done AFTER you print on the paper because human error means it will ALWAYS print out lopsided on paper you cut yourself. Then if you mess up your cut it REALLY gets annoying!

Just get one of those rolling blade paper cutters (the ones where it has a sliding mechanism that you push down and move) those cut very straight. Those guillotine ones for some reason never cut the straightest.

Has anyone else located 8 x 10 paper? Yeah Ok, I'm lazy....

I found some but it seems a little heavy. It's from Epson, called "Premium Presentation Paper Matte 8 x 10". $11.70 for 50 sheets. I'm thinking it may be a little too heavy though...I ordered it anyway, should have it in a few days.

I'm just looking for standard paper in this size, hadn't thought about having a place cut regular paper down until I saw this thread....that might be my next move if no one makes it...

Anyone?
