Do you use your fabric rotary cutter when cutting paper in paper-piecing?

The only time I've experienced serious dulling of my blade when cutting paper was when I used it on a 20-page brochure printed on 28 lb paper that I trimmed three egdes on each one - did about 50 of them. That was definitely a test of its longevity!

I do lots of paper piecing and have never had to use a separate blade. I have Gingher scissors for years that Ive not had to sharpen and I use them for everything. Getting nicks on blades is another matter.
