[GreenKeys] making narrow tape

[Duncan Brown]

Here is information from another list on a "Tape Slitter" that can be 
used to make narrow tape for early tape printers.

Have fun,

I've ordered paper from Bart to make sure I had some but I've also been 
digging trying to come up with alternatives, as the shipping from Europe 
can be pretty stiff.  I stumbled on this thing the other day and ordered 
one.  It came in today and the first trial was pretty successful :-)  
This is a vinyl tape slitter by Ronan. I figured if it could do vinyl it 
could do paper!  And it does.  I think the blade could be sharper for 
paper but it did an OK job. I used 1.75" cash register paper and made 
the roll you see in the photo.  They're small rolls, but will do the job 
I'm sure.  All in all, pretty satisfied.  I'd prefer that it had some 
set screws to lock the side plates in place but they didn't budge while 
using it so I guess they're not really necessary.  I'm going to try and 
find some 2-ply register paper and see if it does a better/easier job 
cutting that.
