Good idea for the cutter, not sure I would use it on the printer. How are you going to keep the print from touching ink to ink on long runs?

That looks exactly like the media catcher on my Mutoh Ultima.

BTW...shouldn't 'partys' be spelled 'parties'? :doh:

Looks good but if you would have went $8 further you could have built a take up reel.

I know this is an old thread.... but AUTO-FX - can you tell me how you have the curtain rods configured? Are the front and back just the full rod assemblies and then the sides cut so they are just straight rods? Or did you fit one into the other going all around?

I have a bunch of curtain rods that I found in my basement. The ends where they would hook onto the window frame are kind of mangled though. I'm not sure it it'll work. If I go out and buy new ones, I want to make sure I get the right sizes. Did you have to use pliers at all to get them to fit?

Thanks so much! My big P-Cut didn't come with any kind of media catcher.
