Shoutout to the local print shop that told me their paper cutter is older than I am

I was picking up a job in Denver and the owner mentioned their main guillotine cutter is from 1978 and still holds perfect registration, which honestly blew my mind.

Seriously? That just sounds like a shop that won't invest in proper gear. A 1978 cutter is a breakdown waiting to happen, no matter how "perfect" it seems today. Newer digital cutters are faster, safer, and way more accurate for complex jobs. Holding onto ancient equipment isn't a flex, it's just being cheap and stuck in the past.

But what if it's a simple shop doing basic cuts all day... wouldn't the old reliable machine actually be the right tool for that job?
